Only time will tell! I can’t wait to see how our farms fair this winter. I also might be moving within the next couple of months.. I’ll have to find a clever way to move the windowfarm without damaging the plants, or disassembling it.

Nice setup you have there! I too am concerned how my plants will do through the winter… I might have to add some compact fluorescent bulbs in the middle. So far the only leaves the plants have lost are their initial sprouting leaves. I hope they don’t start to die! They look so good right [...]
