When you need to take tender herb plants indoors to keep over the winter, you can dig the whole plant in Mid-September and bring it in. If you do not have enough room indoors for larger plants, you can take cuttings to bring in. Late August is the best time to take cuttings of herbs that are Mediterranean in origin. The plant is still in active growth during this month which helps in rooting. Later when the weather cools the plants prepare chemically for going through winter and do not root out easily again until spring.
