| The winter Ontario sun is not bright enough to be successful with most herbs, even if it was direct all day. In a window the sunlight is even more diluted. You will need an indoor light set up for herbs. Lee Valley has a small table top model but still it is likely too large for the kitchen. |

| I have less winter daytime light than southern Ontario in the Greater Victoria area but I grow parsley, winter cauliflowers (deers eat them in open gardens), winter savory and of course rosemary outside all year. No winter is exactly the same but I notice beets and leeks in other Victoria gardens. Some gardeners here use rosemary as an evergreen shrub that can flower in winter. I grow Chinese onions in a cold greenhouse. I saw a garden in Victoria where cabbage was left out for winter. Some seeded the next spring but are not edible when that happens -so I'm told. Take a look at this winter garden in Vancouver. |
