WHEN YOU WAKE UP TO 40 DEGREES, as I did this morning, you find yourself admitting two things: First, that summer is definitely over, and next, that it’s now or never for rescuing petunias and other frost-sensitive plants. Not sure how to overwinter these tender herbs and annuals? Here’s a refresher course:

Can you bring herbs indoors for the summer? I have alot of thyme, lavender, oregano and sage in pots. Do they need the cold dormant period to do well?

Lisa – I have moved your comment to the link indicated above. (I've answered it, too.)
Liz Klingler says
I am finding that when I go back to older posts (Apples in Jack Daniels Custard is one example), when I clicked on a link in the recipe (in last case “oven baked apples”), I am told that that page no longer exists. Is this something I’m doing wrong, or must I strike when the iron’s hot if I want a particular recipe?
Kevin Lee Jacobs says
Liz, it isn’t you! When this site migrated from Google blogger to WordPress in December, almost every link became severed. I’m working almost daily to correct this travesty.
All of my recipes are still here. However, until links are repaired, you may– and I’m so sorry about this — have to click “recipes” in the menu up top and then wade through the list until you find the one you want.
And believe me, I’m flattered that you are looking!

Hi Kevin
I have a hardy gardenia plant that I’ve babied for 3 years. Some years it almost died. I’d like to plant it outdoors what am i doing wrong? It shows better growth this year and more wonderful blooms after we gave it acid fertilizer are we on the right track it lives in zone 5b.
Thanks
