Yes, basil should be brought inside when there is danger of frost.

However, lettuce is cold-hardy, and will survive the light frosts we get here.

Hey D, do you mind hooking me up with some more basil, if you have extra? I (and the horrid Houston winter) have managed to kill the basil you gave me, twice: that hardy lil’ thing even came back to life after I uh, neglected it for an unknown period of time.

Lovin’ how you’re using all the space on your balcony for greens!

Boo. your mom’s blog went away. I miss my flowers and cottage photos. I hope she wasn’t scared off by us lepers.

@Annie: You know, that’s not a bad idea. And if the earthworms die, their corpses are already pre-buried.

@Derek: Right, you’re in MA so can’t really start planting yet. (Well, you can, it just won’t be so effective.)

It’s very fulfulling.

@Q: How could you not know about the Aqua Globes? Everyone knows about them; you can tell because they have “As seen on TV” on the box.

I can see your carpentry skills from those photos

There’s a mysterious blue orb next to one of your lettuces. What is it? Does it have magical powers?

That is cool.

I hope to give deck gardening a shot this summer. Herbs for sure, but tomatoes & carrots would be great.

There is some kind of secret illuminati/shriner/global mindcontrol organization that holds a monopoly on heirloom carrot seeds – purple carrots, yellow ones, red etc – and I know somebody who knows somebody who might lend me a packet or three.

I need to get you a bucket of earthworms to aerate your soil
