I HAVE YET TO MASTER THIS, BUT I'VE GOT SOME GOOD STUFF NOW JUST GROWING IN MY WINDOW (LARGE WINDOW). ROSEMARY GROWS GREAT INDOORS OR OUT,YEAR ROUND. THYME (LEMON) ALSO DOES GREAT IN AN ESTABLISHED OUTDOOR GARDEN, AND MINE CAME BACK EVERY YEAR. BASIL GROWS ON MY PORCH IN LARGE POT, VARIEY OF TOMATOES--SALAD CAPRESE ANYONE? I'LL SEND PICS SOON, I WAS NOT PREPARED TO JOIN, I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING UP SOMETHING ELSE. I ALSO GROW ORCHIDS, MY LAST ONE HAD OVER 50 BLOOMS!!!!!
