Didn’t know sage was so hardy. My rosemary is covered by leaves and a plastic border. Only the top needles got cold burnt. I’m using discarded storm door pane glass over some greens but not this past week its been warmer. Even so some plants are just more cold hardy than others. I’m loving still picking some remaining salad greens here in late December. Appreciate all the shared knowledge and tips from the WGT.

I've still got cilantro growing in the cold frame. With any luck, it will make it through until spring.

Rosemary dies outside here in Massachusetts during the winter. Sage usually goes dormant, but this plant is in a container on our south-facing deck. All of my other container-raised sage plants have died in winter, but this one is hanging on for its third or fourth winter.

Fresh salad leaves in December? Heavenly!

Sage can make it through a NYS winter.

Rosemary can’t although I was surprised at the low temps it can survive.

It got down to 19 one night earlier in the fall and I expected that to be the end of it and it was still alive.

I dug it up and brought it in before we got buried in snow.

And right now, that’s where my garden is.

I had a sage plant growing in my kitchen. I had JUST bought it from the nursery.
Over night a MOUSE had come up the stairs or whatever and ate EVERY single leaf off that plant. Boy, was I pissed.

Needless to say, I have declared WAR on rodents--traps and poison. Nasty buggers.
