I live in N. Central FL where my herbs are killed by our "winter" frosts.
I have a stacking pot system and wonder if I could move it into a SW window with skylight during the winter without having to deal with unwanted pests.
Any suggestions?

Look at the Miracle Gro Aerogarden. I'm going to get one as soon as the cold kills off my herbs outside.

I have about five different spices in my front window that gets lot's of sun. They're doing pretty well there.
A word of caution on the Aerogardens. The lights are expensive and you're supposed to change them often. I bought 2 a few years back and it doesn't take long for herbs to outgrow the space or the height of the light. Also cleaning out the roots and such wasn't much better. I tossed mine.

Kentucky Colonel Mint, Basil inside my kitchen window. In a long, rectangle pot/container. I'll try oregano this Fall/Winter. It's outside my kitchen window right now.

I grow "kitty grass" inside the house.......in pots, in front of the arcadia door.
She can smell it as soon as it sprouts!

Too funny! One of my cats had no interest in dried catnip/toys, but boy, did he get high when I grew some fresh. I had to limit their time on the screened in lanai.
Thanks, ladies, for your suggestions.

Thanks, I'll look into it more. I do see that the newer ones allow you to adjust the light higher but of course they cost more.
