Windowsill Greenhouse Resources
What a great idea for a book. Thank YOU, Alice and Brian! I was lucky enough to visit their nursery in slightly western Mass. a number of times and really appreciate that a lot of what they had to share then is in easy reference book form now. (In fact, I have a scented geranium that’s the great-great-grandson of a purchase from them still.)
There are lots of books that cover perennials, tender and otherwise, but they never seem to understand that not all gardeners live in California or have massive greenhouses. Alice details what constitutes sunny & warm vs. cool & bright so it’s easy to figure out which corner or window in the house will best suit. Skeptic that I am, I checked first on her recommendations for the ones I’ve successfully overwintered: Agreed (tho I scored last year with my fuchsia when I trained a fan on them for air movement). Then I looked up the ones I’m edging toward the porch right now to figure out how to save them this winter. Ah: Move the lemon away from the hot window and into the cooler living room. Check.
I highly recommend this book for those who want a pretty simple guide to propagation too — as Alice writes, “overwintering small plants…is actually a lower-maintenance alternative.”
Great book, and certainly not just for us miserly New Englanders!
