Most herbs are pretty tough. It might surprise you to learn, for example, that many can survive the winter just fine. Indeed, some observers claim they’re a bit tastier than their summer counterparts. Admittedly, you’re not going to see the lush growth you would expect in the warmer months; but even in snowy climes, these herbs can eke out a living, often poking up above the snow to do so. The thick, leathery leaves of sage, for example, handle cold weather well; so do the plump needles of lavender and rosemary. Less fleshy winter herbs that do well in slightly warmer environments include sorrel, cilantro, Italian parsley, and garlic.
