We had temps into the low 40s last night, and for the next few nights. I've been busy trying to bring plants in overwinter, and preserve some herbs for use during the winter. I've harvested lots of lemon verbena, parsley, and basil to be dried or frozen. My lemon verbena plant was so big this year--making lemon verbena ice cream tonight, and freezing leaves for future use, as well as a simple syrup.
Started some seeds today....lettuce (mixed greens), bok choy, basil and baby romaine lettuce. The mixed lettuce will be grown in soil under lights; the bok choy, basil and romaine will be grown hydroponically once the seeds sprout.
Brought in some plants to overwinter: 2 rosemary, 2 bay plants, sage, thyme, and my patchouli. Just having the grow lights on helps me get through the winter.
Harvested potatoes today--12 pounds, grown in smart pots. Will be great to have these to cook with over the next few months.
