We have a bay window which has a
shelf at about the three foot level. It gets pretty decent after noon sun. Using pots, we've successfully grown several spice plants and
last year a cherry tomato plant.
Sort of like your deck in Columbia, then?

Slightly. Both used pots to grow things. Both got only afternoon
soil. But current is inside and thus not subject to cold weather.

Which extends the growing season. Bv)= And makes sure the plants get whater when they need it rather than only when some important outdoor activity is planned. Bv))=
I remeber fondly the rigani you had in the pot last Echo picnic I attended. I've had no luck growing some from seed so I'm going to
spend the $$$ and have Burpee's send me plants. Then pray they seed themselves for subsequent generations.

We never tried to start anything from seed before. I'll have to
research when and how to plant those campari tomato seeds you pointed
us to. They came in the US mail today.
The spicy origani we bought as seedling plants two years ago. They
grew here quite well two years ago, and then made it through the winter thanks to being inside. We still have a pretty decent supply of fresh
and *LOTS* of dried. Do you have any nurseries within reach -- rather than trying mail order?

Here's a link to a very good page on starting tomatoes from seed. I
note that the author uses old styro (plastic) egg cartons as I used to
do rather than buying "starting pans" from the garden department down
the K-Mart.

Thanks. I have read and bookmarked that web site for future study. It does say things that I think not 100% relevant to my situation. It
talks about grow lights, and time tables for planting. I will not be using grow lights, and because I will be planting indoors the time
tables are not completely relevant.
One problem is that I got 50 seeds, and only will want two or three plants. I guess I'll save the excess seeds for next spring and hope
that they will still be viable a year from now.
