Potted herb garden??

I just started a small herb garden with thyme, dutch lavender, rosemary, mints, fennel, margoram and sage.The mints, apple, orange and chocolate have lost all foliage and the sages are leggy and leaves started to curl. The margoram plant doesn't to be as fragrant as before either. I'm afraid to cut them because they are small plants only about 4 to 6 inches tall and I dont want to kill them. They are all potted with gravel at the bottom of the pots and potting soil on top. I brought them inside and keep in my garage to protect from winter, they get decent light. Should I prune them or what? All the others seem to be fine, but I could use ANY advice.
Thank you, Tresa
