of course! Is it a heated greenhouse? *envy* *envy* It's just like starting them indoors. You have to acclimate them too... not to the sun, but to the temperature.

If they're winter-hardy, you're better off waiting until at least December, so that the plants don't have to wait a full year until cold-weather dormancy. For tender annuals like basil (extra envy), sow them in your greenhouse every couple of weeks for a steady fresh supply.

Thanks for the input. It isn't a heated greenhouse, but I can run a space heater in there. I also have heated seed mats. I am in the Pacific NW and ourtemps don't get too low. They are also predicting above average temps...yeah!

For the herbs that aren't tender annuals, you might try winter sowing outside. Go to the Winter Sowing Forum on Garden Web and check it out. I've had very good luck with mine.

Feldon... they are predicting a warm winter up there? Hmmm, I am down in Sacramento, Ca. I hope for a warm winter too. I have been hearing gossip about another El Nino year.... I like those, my tropicals are happier.

What herbs can you grow in the winter? I am excited about starting a herb garden and would like some help with some seeds. I do not have anything to trade right now, but would sure like some help.
MAN! from reading the various posting you guys sound like herbal experts.

I've tried and succeeded in rooting a small piece of basil
in water. There's a good root system now and I think I could plant it in a pot; this is an indoor project in Z#4 right now
and winter's almost here. HELP PLEASE!!!
