How should I care for my herb garden?

    Hi everyone. I have a window box with herbs and I've had it the last month or so and it's been fine. In the last few days its gone a little dull and some leaves are browning a little. I have parsley, coriander, oregano and basil. The basil leaves now have holes in them. I water them every day, and the pot has drainage.

    I'm just wondering if there's any suggestions how I can keep my herbs alive, forever! They are outside btw. Thanks a mill!

    Parsley can survive outside in an irish winter, the rest are unlikely to survive outside in winter especially basil which is like a canary down a mine for cold.
