| It sure sounded easy and it was at first from a three season porch facing east to now what what the heck have I done ( vs I could of waited untill spring )Enemy number one is going to be powdery mildew for those of you that dare this. I donot suggest this indoor raising winter protecting to the faint at heart
I started with cooler night temps a daily carrying em in and out pot by pot late morning and early night for some sun and air.Watering was a good idea when out side but oddly the one gallon pots still drip on the porch floor so a tarp was laid down to help with that.
I know it's going to get tougher, but I can do it welcome to the last resort: The walk in basement entry is south facing and no windows (grrrrrrrrr) a semi heated area with 2 shop lamps that have 2 tubes, a 10x4 work bench and all the garden tools,ferts and such are also stored down there are 2 5 gallon rain/compost teas and a very big and bold print out of the lords prayer. I think I got that "don't try this at home" thing figured out now.
