It’s quiet out there for this Sunday morning. I don’t even hear anything flying overhead into MSP. Odd. The cool of the morning is starting to give way to the heat of the day. The grass has a lot of dew on it from last night so I’m putting off my weeding core until it dries out a bit more. That’s not gonna bode well for me since it will be a lot hotter when I do go outside to get it done.
In the meanwhile I have a pork loin to marinade for Sunday dinner. I cut off some fresh rosemary for the marinade and rinsed it off. God, I love the smell of it. That’s one nice thing about growing your own herbs; you know they’re fresh plus they are a lot cheaper than what you pay at the store. Now I just need to figure out how I can grow them year round.
Can’t you dry them? 😊

You can get a herb garden with a grow light. It works pretty well.

I use my grow light during the winter when I bring them inside.

How does it work?

I have my herbs in planter boxes on my deck. I’ll set up two saw horses and place a piece of plywood on them. I set my grow light (it’s on a stand) on the plywood and plug it into a timer. I set my herbs on top of the plywood and just make sure they’re watered. I forgot to bring my rosemary and thyme in last Fall and a frost killed them. They would have been on their 4th year had I been paying attention.

it would be nice if I could figure out a way to have a year long greenhouse bed that would stay warm during the winter.

You’d have to have it enclosed with a heater.

I wonder how I could do it with solar.

Do you get enough sun in the winter to charge a solar battery?

we have a good number of grey sky days and they don’t necessarily work well for the solar lights that I do have.

I have seen some ideas such as bumping out a window on the sunny side of the house. That way you get some of the heat from the house. For herbs you really don’t need that big a space.

I like thin slicing the leftover roast, heating the slices and then putting them on a dinner roll cut in half with shredded mozzarella and some mayo and waiting a tad for the heat of the meat to melt the cheese
