Herbs
Hi Everyone...Which herbs come back every year? I know oregano does but what else? Thanks for your input and I hope everyone is feeling okay....at least for today.

Dill is one of the more "rugged" annuals. I can see why it's called "dill weed". Plant some of it and usually you're guaranteed it will come back the next year through seeds, often in more areas than you'd like. I used to enjoy eating the dried seeds straight from the plant.
Chives will last if you get them established. The main problem I have with them is keeping quack grass away from the clumps. It pokes through just about anything. Be mindful when it comes to harvesting and chopping time, to not get the grass blades harvested and chopped up with the chives. (if you don't you'll know it when you taste it.)
Basil is an annual, but one year I was able to take a cutting root it (took a Looong time), plant it in a pot and keep it in a sunny window all winter. I maintained it by pinching the tips off having it branch out. Then I planted it the following year. I haven't been successful other years, but then again I've kind of neglected a lot of my plants.
I think the same should work for all plants in the mint family. (includes quite a bit of herbs). For some reason though, my mint cuttings prefer to rot, I think because I don't plant them right away.

Thanks for advice. I did have parsley last year but it didn't come back this year. I'm north too so I guess the good stuff is annuals for us...."GRR". This year I wasn't feeling well enough to do much. Last year my little girl(11yrs) planted the herbs with her friends. All my helpers were in day camp and away at Grandma's .....lol

Chives are one. We have chives. Also depends what zone you live in. (area and min temperatures.)
Lavender is a perennial in some areas, but where I live is a little far north of its range. Our neighbor's lavender came up but mine died.
Some annuals reseed themselves so you will have them every year. Dill is one. Both my parents and my grandma have dill. Parsley is another that can come back, but we are a bit far north. For us it is an annual.

Some annuals re-seed themselves like: Chamomile and Cilantro .
