"It's quite easy to maintain as long as the soil doesn't stay too soggy, especially in colder months."

"Once it starts to flower, trimming about 1/3 of the plant will encourage new growth and keep it stronger to survive colder months."

"I love chives as a perennial herb because they are so giving in the garden and are incredibly easy to care for year after year... with very little maintenance required."

On oregano: "It grows better the more you use it and is fairly drought-tolerant, as it doesn't like overwatering or persistently wet soil."

On rosemary: "It likes drier soil and stands on its own quite well, but there are a couple of things to remember to help it come back year after year."

On sage: "A light spring prune will keep it happy with frequent but light harvesting." Going into colder months: "It's also a good idea to stop all fertilizers in the fall for sage, allowing the plant to harden off before winter."

On lavender: "Water lavender deeply but infrequently, as wet soil is the most common reason lavender won't return for next season."
