But check plants occasionally, looking for symptoms of light deprivation. These include yellowing or pale foliage, dropping or drooping leaves and leggy growth. Take it easy when reintroducing plants to the great outdoors. Sunburn of foliage usually occurs when plants are brought into intense light too quickly. After all danger of frost has passed, acclimatize overwintered plants gradually.
Spring is a good time to see if plants are potbound.
If so, lay the pot on its side, and gently tap the plant out of its pot. If so, it's time to repot. Use a larger pot and a pro-mix potting soil. It's time to put your herb bed to bed for the winter. It's a good idea to cut back to ground level all your mints, balms, burnets, caraways, catnips, chives, lovages, oreganos, marjorams and tarragons.
