>>609166Right now experimenting with various spices on window sill (window faces East-North-East, so getting sun until about 11am) - big parts of those are going to be replanted into the garden as soon as severe frosts are not to be expected any more in March/April
Lemon balm took a few weeks to sprout, but grows slowly and steadily now
Same for my thyme
Seeded Greek oregano 4 days ago and put the pot on the exhaust fan of my PC for extra warmth (~23°C) - has already sprouted!
Parsley and lavender, seeded at the same time, are still about to do so
Also, having your room lights, even if they're LEDs, pointed onto them does apparently help them a little to get over autumn/winter lack of light
Got 5 "general puropse" warm white LEDs lighting up the room, 4 watts each and pointed two at them at my herbs from 3m away, and still that rather weak light does seemingly help - pic related is a 4 hour difference of my thyme while it was completely dark outside and they only got said room light
I kept the camera in place and took those 2 pics just as a test and was actually surprised to see so much visible growth in such a short time
