It becomes impossible to keep some of the more delicate herbs going in the garden through winter - but there IS a way to have access to fresh home-grown herbs throughout the winter. By investing in a special low-wattage CFL (Compact Fluorescent) light bulb you can keep the plants INDOORS and still provide them with all the light they need.

Place the herbs near a window to take full advantage of the natural light and set the CFL bulb on a timer to come on for a couple of hours a night after it goes dark.

You’ll be able to enjoy fresh home-grown herbs all winter using this method and the lights cost very little to run.
