Although now is not the best time to lay sod or plant tropicals, we are entering the prime planting season for hardy trees, shrubs, vines and ground covers. Spring-flowering bulbs are planted in fall for spring bloom. Colorful cool-season bedding plants are planted now, as well as delicious and nutritious cool-season vegetables.
And, this is a great time to plant many of the hardy herbs we love to cook with.
For growing purposes in Louisiana, herbs can be loosely grouped into cool season-annuals, warm-season annuals (annuals live for one season and then die) and perennials (which live for several years).
Herbs to plant now
Fall is a great time to plant cool-season annual herbs and most of the perennial herbs.
Cool-season annual herbs are hardy enough not to be bothered by winter freezes, and actually prefer to grow in the cool-to-mild days and chilly-to-cold nights we have here during the cool season.
They should be seeded or transplanted from September through early February.
