You said you raised 465.00 for the garden, but only 25.00 a year for three years. I just did not understand the the different amounts. <br /><br /> I am off to order some seeds right now.

Reading that it can grow to heights of up to 32' in its native habitat got me a bit nervous, but your potted thing in the bathroom has put me at ease. We have a SE facing solarium in a "Zero Energy" Larsen Truss Wall house that might just do the trick! <br /> Where did you get your seeds and how did you prep them--what type of soil mix and fertilizers have you found to be successful?<br /><br />Thanks, Jim,<br /><br />Drew from Second Cloud on The Left Farm, La Farge, WIDrew Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03288895422924973359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445073115141249182.post-64673066143341763202014-02-17T08:13:55.425-06:002014-02-17T08:13:55.425-06:00Now you have me very interested!

Since I live in Florida I am always trying to teach those that want to grow their winter hardy herbs in the kitchen window that they are much happier outside in the cool and cold (to us) weather. More death will occur in the kitchen window again this winter than outside where they are happy. Weather has yet to hit 32 degrees but we have a promise for next week.Linda O.
