Re: Herbs

Judy,
Can you provide additional lighting?  I overwinter all plants on my
lightstand (16 hrs) - except those that can take the cold of the attached
garage.  I have only 2 south-facing windows - garage and Family Room and the
FRm one is chest high, about a yard across and over the register, with a
shallow sill.  Not ease to ustilize.  Could you give them some artificial
light?

Kitty
