I have been bringing some of my herbs inside for the winter. This is a great way to extend the growing season and have fresh herbs to use in cooking during the winter months.  It is  also a nice way to bring some of those great fragrances inside.  Lemon balm in a pot by the window helps bring back memories of a great garden this past summer.

If you did not act quickly enough before the frost, there are a few stores that carry potted herbs. I have seen rosemary, thyme, chives and other herbs for sale. There are some things to consider when finding the right location and exposure for these plants.  Sunlight, watering, temperature and other factors need to be taken into consideration.  A recent article in the Wall Street Journal has some great tips on transitioning herbs indoors.   http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204712904578094731197090020.html
