Parsley is a biennial. You’ll get a few leaves before it bolts which gives you some supply of fresh parsley while replacement plants are growing.
Chives are extremely winter hardy—no problem overwintering them w/ no cover at all here in central Wisconsin (Zone 4). I grow them in with my ornamentals/ perennials. Can be something of a nuisance because they readily reseed themselves.
No experience w/ oregano or thyme and have grown basil only once before this year. Has been cool & wet & my basil isn’t growing much. I think it likes the wet but not the cool so much.
I'm still harvesting from chives I planted more than 20 years ago in SE WI (Zone 4).
Re: parsley. I planted some last year which is not doing anything but bolting. So if I plant a brand new batch this year, then I should be set because every other year, one of the plants would be producing, right?
Is this the same for coriander?
Oregano will spread a lot if you don’t plant it in a container
