Hi, New to this forum and new to container gardening. I have been growing plants on my patio this summer and know that I will soon have to bring them inside to survive the winter as I live in snowy colorado. With what I have, I would like to know what needs to be done to care for these plants and if they need to be reseeded constantly to have herbs available for growing or will they regrow themselves? Any other advice from pro container gardeners would be very much appreciated. I am planning to put up grow lights in the kitchen for this or else spread the rest throughout the house so they dont seem cluttered. Here is what I have so far:

~One plant of three leaf parsley (not enough for one recipe the plastic pot is about 16 inches deep with no drainage it is beginning to grow babies from the base but not a ton.)

~french taragon (growing one spindly stalk about 7 inches long with lots of leaves at the tip and is begining to grow 3 sprouts at the tip of the stalk is in the pot with the parsley)

~green onions that grew 5 total stalks(three of which are growing flowers but I want a lot- in a pot about 7 inches deep in glazed polish pottery planter)

~Kung Pao Chilis (growing like crazy about a foot high in the hot sun growing in a 12 inch clay pot)

~Fooled you mild peppers (small 5 inch high plant in same container as kungs giving about 5 peppers)

~lavender thyme (healthy small plant in a clay pot about 5 inches high)

~Orange Mint (talk stalky plant growing well in an 10 inch clay pot)

~creeping oregano and some type of 3 inch bumpy leafed basil (growing really well together in a 12 inch clay pot)

~ two small plants of spearmint (planted in a long 1 1/2 foot pot about 5 inches deep. I am hoping it will take over the pot? as I use a lot of this in cooking)

I would also like to start growing a lot of cilantro, some lavender, sprouts, anise, dill and chocolate mint (if I can find some here). Looking for other great herbs for cooking to grow indoors and put out during summer. Any suggestions for doing this inside and where to get the plants or seeds. I will bring grow lights in if necessary but dont really know what to choose. Any advice would be great!

really TIA,

Cherie
