Hey, winter will be here before I know it and I'm wondering what plants I can grow all year round... i have a fair size livingroom window and was thinking i'll put a big table covered in plants there so they'll get lots of light. and the window is getting plastic over it so there won't be any cold drafts. what plants can i grow indoors... and how do I go about bringing my herbs indoors? i have oregano, sage and pineapple mint.
pretty much anything can be grown indoors in the winter. some stuff may not fruit till the days begin getting longer but other than that there are no restrictions. we grow tomato plants through the winter and this year we plan on quite the variety indoors since we now have a whole room to grow in. on your herbs, if they are not in a pot,just dig them up,pot them and bring them in. it really is that simple.
I was growing carrots until my clumsy ass knocked them over LMAO!! I was really upset because the last time I grew plants in the house my rabbit feasted on em.
Basically Im going to agree with the spam here, because once you set up some good lighting and have growing medium plants just grow ., its very simple..
Hello, hehehe. Today there was an article in the local newspaper. The coppers had raided an coughcough indoor garden. The gardener had installed good lighting and a heating system and his 118 plants thrived. But after he sold his first harvest at a local farmers market something went wrong . Regards Gyro
Mint will come back in the spring. The other herbs you can keep alive if you give them as much sun as possible and keep the room cool so they won't bolt. Basil likes it hot and sunny. I can't keep it alive in my greenhouse unless it is on a bench in the sun. I usually just save seeds from last year and start them in flats in the spring and put them outdoors when the weather gets warm, (not just frost-free). I grow rosemary outdoors in a raised bed in full sun. One bush is six feet tall and about eight years old. I NEVER run out of rosemary.
PS: nothing wrong with a little window ledge herb garden. Southern exposure is the key. If you don't know south, that's the only direction the sun shines from in northern winters. I have even grown beans on a southern window ledge! Not a huge crop, but it was fun.
