I'm definitely thinking chives, Italian parsley, basil, and mint, at this point.

If the weather cooperates, I'll have fresh lettuces in my raised bed by the south wall through November or so, and after that I might try a tray indoors.

I suspect, based on what you and others note in this thread, that I will be looking at a stand that offers the option of supplemental lighting for extending day length.

I've had some issues with scale insects in the house, so I'm anticipating needing to do patrolling for those, and that's usually an opportunity to identify and deal with other insect problems as well, but thanks for the reminder!

appreciatively,
Bright
