Hey, Mik.

[Catseye3]

Last year you wrote about growing plants indoors. How did that turn out? Was it successful? Are you still doing it?

I'm toying around with doing the same -- particularly leafy greens, which I don't get much of given my circumstances.

Please and thank you.

It was not successful, and I am not sure quite why. I'm back to outside.

The Aerogardens work great for my daughter, but you have to harvest them a lot or transplant outside.

Small greenhouse or hoophouse.

I have a feeling herbs were not meant to grow in potting soil.

I've had good luck outdoors with many herbs in pots of potting soil. They seem to need lots of root space, so a larger pot helps them thrive.

Regularly timed watering also helps. They hate being too wet or too dry.

I even grow basil here on kiddo's balcony in pots. Got three of them going right now. It helps that Oregon weather provides nice natural watering on a regular basis. If it doesn't rain for a spell, I fill in with some tap water.
