I live in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, where it obviously gets too cold to grow anything outdoors in another month or so. I have a wonderful herb garden during the summer, and I love to cook with my fresh, homegrown herbs. I have tried everything to grow my herbs indoors (including plant lights) but they die in a short time. The biggest problem is that I don't have a really sunny spot (northern exposure). Am I doomed to only purchase them in the market (when available)? Does anyone have any advice? |

That northern exposure is killing you! If only you had a south window it would do your plants so much better. I too will be attempting to grow certain herbs indoors, in a new-to-me house, this winter and am hoping they make it. We shall see, compare notes & see if we find a way for it to work. |

Do you have a window in your kitchen where you can take some cuttings now from you favorite herbs and start them in a rooting compound with water and place them in your kitchen window? If that won't work, find some soda pop bottles and make little greenhouses out of them for rootings or seed starting. If all that fails, learn from it and plant tons of extra next year so you can harvest enough to get through till the following spring. Hope this helps, I love herbs and have learned you can't ever have enough. Good luck!
