Sages and Basils die in the Fall. You harvest and dry them and store them.
Oregano, rosemary, thymes, mints, onion chives, parsley, cilantro, dills, leaf celery, fennel, onions, garlic, grow best in our Fall/Winter season and will be starting up now. They will probably die in late July or Aug tho. My oregano is year round.
Parsley is a 2 yr plant, then dies. You did not indicate what herbs you grow, lavendar is touch and go in our heat and humidity. Yellow can be a sign of both too much and too little water. Our sun affects and tells plants what it is time for them to do- low sun and short daylength hours are telling many herbs to slow down. Also with cooler days watering should slow down. Containers especially can hold more water than you think. The dirt in my raised beds is still too hot for some herbs to sprout, but others like the cuke I planted Aug 22nd is producing fruit now- at least til frost.
So, what herbs are you growing?
