8. We get good freezes here in North Florida some winters

Most of the salvias for instance are considered "tender perennials" - the leaves will die back but the plants will come back from the roots a lot of years. I'm not sure about the herbs at all since I haven't consistently grown them for so long.

Maybe if I mix fresh herbs with something that will freeze well and made herbal "ice cubes" that would work. Then I could pull out "measured" amounts and add to things.

I thought about making herb infused oils but they really don't last all that long.

I think I will have to experiment - and I will try to post the results when I do.
