December Northern California - Things To Do #3 - Herbs

According to a book that I am reading, herbs are hardy in this region and do not need much care, except Basil that needs to be moved to a sunny location.

Well, let me tell you: my Basils are in a sunny location, and they are dead! Why? Because of the frost, and the low temperature  at night. Here is a picture of my Basil currently:


Another one that is pretty much gone is my Tarragon. The yellow burned leaves are from my Tarragon.



My Oregano still looks good. Last year it died from the frost too. Will see what happen this year.



For sure, some of my herbs are fine. For instance, this is the way my Rosemary look like.


Gorgeous as usual!!!

How about in your area? What happens to your herbs? Do you move them inside?
