Lestie-
I like your answer.
She probably lives in New York where balcony space is sparse & people feel that if you have it, it should be put to good use (lol).
Meanwhile, I have been growing organic herbs inside my home this spring. They are looking beautiful. In Chicago, most of our days are 67-80F, but we still have the occasional 55F day too. Our nights are definitely in the 50s.
It's time for some of them to be re-potted to larger pots. Should I be looking to taking them outside?
