We live in Maine. Winters are long and fresh herbs make such a big difference in cooking.

    Plant them and place in a bright window

  • Get a few grow lights for your herbs, shop now so you are ready for this winter.

    I lived in Maine for many years. You'll need to find a bright warm spot in your house. Grow lights will help immensely if you can afford that type of a setup.

    you need a place with a temp of at a minimum of 60degrees, any colder will hurt the plants. Then you need access to water for the plants. Then you need light..i had sliders. i put my plants by them. In house no3 I have grow lights in my basement.

    My sister lives in Vermont. She has had a few "Winters that does not die" I'd say you need more light and a water soliable plant food like Peters..but not too much!!

    You must plant them, in the sun, and be careful not to give them too much water. Always have a saucer under the pot, to put the water. Best wishes, J.

    Always put a string in the pot, and have it long enough to sip the water. This is vital. J.
