@SongofJoy Thank you! I suspect you are very right!
I've got herbs growing -- purple sage, spicy & unspicy (?) oregano, thyme, trailing & untrailing (?) rosemary, cilantro, dill, flat-leafed Italian parsley, sweet marjoram, chives, catnip, basil -- one tomato plant (next season I'm planning on cherry tomatoes -- I had no idea how much space even one tomato plant requires!) & a globe artichoke, mostly for the flower! I'm needing to add hot peppers in the "spring" but now know not to try & grow them with the tomatoes -- who's got a favorite small hot pepper that likes growing in a container ... in the desert...?
Happy New Year!
