growing annual herbs as perennials

I started several basil plants (indoors) in Spring '22 from seed. I kept them in pots and moved them outside after the threat of frost had passed. I replaced bulbs in some table lamps with LED grow bulbs (shaped like old-fashioned incandescent bulbs). Before the first freeze, I moved the basil indoors (after a serious pruning). I won't say they thrived inside, but they stayed alive. Spring '23, I moved them back outside. They grew like crazy. I have added a few more herbs (sage, marjoram, oregano, dill, and cilantro) and a few more grow lights. I'll let you know if they make it to next Spring. (I've also kept catnip alive indoors under a grow light. I actually have five plants, and I rotate them in different positions, because my cats like to self-medicate.)
