Well if there’s a ping list for the garden then please put me on it.

We always have a garden but one thing I want to do this year is start a few herbs outdoors in small window sill-sized containers.

Then in the fall we can bring them inside to winter over, use, and hopefully bring outdoors again, if that’s even possible, I dunno.

Something like basil, parsley, chives...whatever is useful and will stay compact.

Yes there is a ping list, and I will put you on it. It’s a weekly ping on Friday afternoon. Then we just keep posting during the week to that same thread as people have time.

To answer your question : Yes you can start the plants and bring them indoors. If you have a southern or west facing window, you may not even need a grow light.

I have done this with several herbs. The most outstanding results was with basil. See my prior post up thread. The plant from 2010 is still going strong.
