I am doing great and wonderful! How are you doing Dee? I am trying to ignore the short daylight syndrome and counting down the days to the winter solstice. DH laughs because I mark each day by how much longer it is ~ both actual and visual.
Kmom, you just made me feel better about it too. Where did you live in 9B? That would be an adjustment! Real culture shock...
I have rosemary outside and it has survived the winters we've had. I planted it by the house in a sheltered spot. Also planted a trailing rosemary. It has been in ground for a couple years and isn't growing well. Not sure if I am going to pot it up or improve the soil. Either way it is coming out of the ground. I was also encouraged to leave the greek oregano in ground (actually I keep mine in pot) We have had some 20 degree nites and it is doing good. A DG'r from Michigan said she leaves hers in ground and it lasts the winter. That might be one to try in Silver Springs? If you like it of course.
My garlic bed is just really taking off now and will be done by summer. Garlic chives too.
Dee thanks for the book recommendations. I have Southern Herb Growing and love it. I will check your two out, thanks.
Looking forward to spring. pod
