Marjoram

Has anyone suceeded in keeping marjoram over winter? Mine has all died which is a shame, but I'd like to know what I did wrong.

Actually, I made my first try at majoram this year but the seeds didn't even come up for me. They were a bit old though. I'll try live plants and report back if I get anything good this fall!

I've planted fresh this year, and they seem to be coming on well. I think this year I'll just cut the leaves to dry at the height of the summer and then clear the bed out for something else in the cooler months. I'll try saving one or two plants, but the seedlings are so cheap here it's probably not worth worrying about.
