    When I lived in Oregon we had 4 huge rosemary bushes growing in our yard and we could not get rid of them when we tried one time, but then I started using it in a lot of foods we eat. We had plenty of rosemary all the time. We gave it to our neighbors too. I never watered the rosemary or anything except occasionally I would trim it when I worked in the yard. It grew all year round even in the middle of Winter.

    I had grown green onions outside (bought at grocery store, directly sown root bottoms to soil) and they provided for about 2 years until a windy storm completely destroyed the entire pot.
    I'm trying again, indoors and they are growing even faster this time. It's been 3 days and they are going crazy. I already had a grow light for some houseplants so green onions are just chilling in the corner of my dining area that is slowly becoming a tiny jungle in the the desert.
    :)
    Indoor gardening in very, very rewarding, but word of warning, quarantine new plants before you bring them in with the others. It took me a month to save my plants from fungus gnats. Haha

    I do the "single file" method with my indoor herbs. For things like dill & cilantro I do succession planting so I've always got a pot or two ready to use.
    Basil is a great indoor plant that keeps producing over & over. When the plants get 5-6 sets of leaves I top off the upper 3 sets & put those into a cup of water to sprout. Those become my next crop of basil plants. Lather, rinse, repeat for endless basil...and pesto, which is easy to make & stores in the freezer indefinitely. 😋

      Hi there,
      If you are one that grows indoor plants, i would recommend to opt for organic, vegan and peat-free compost, as well as organic liquid feed that does not contain sea weed due to radiation in the seas, i believe. Please have a look at this video that i believe will be of great help th-cam.com/video/Zklb59V5CeM/w-d-xo.html

    Late to the party, but I have a 2x4 tent with a 250w MIGRO ARAY, which is four LED bars with a remote power supply; my plan was to start a herb garden. However, and since the cost of electricity has doubled-ish, the tent is inactive... which brings me to my point.
    Do a run of fresh herbs over the winter in a tent and suffer the pain of expense to move your grow outside during the summer; zone 5a here in southern Vermont. Your body will thank you for it in the long-play to eat healthy. Moreover, cut other costs/expenses to run lights, environmental control, and etc. for your health, because the produce available at the grocery store is pure shite!
    I was wrong to wait on planting, which I believe is one of the gardeners' fallacies.
    Thank you!

    • @TheRipeTomatoFarms
      @TheRipeTomatoFarms  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Totally agree.... Always gotta watch the costs. I'm really in tune with electrical expenses and what it takes to get each crop to harvest. I also like the idea of starting them indoors, then moving them! Doesn't work for all crops, but for some it does!

      @@TheRipeTomatoFarms Appreciate the reply. I believe we are reading the same pages from the same book; however, I do use compost, worms, and biology in my indoor grows. Doing so does cost extra money and time to manage pests, but I know for sure my plants/soil are as I intend them to be...whether good or bad results is always the battle... most people give up when faced with failure; the rest of us persevere and do it better the next time!
