Winter is almost here, and some of your favorite warm-weather plants/veggies won’t survive that first freeze. The good news? You can save them — but only if you bring them inside the right way – before winter hits. The key is knowing which plants are actually worth saving, when to bring them in, and the simple steps that help them keep growing indoors all winter long. Today I’ll show you exactly how I move my small container plants inside before it’s too late.

Good information kim have u ever grown cantaloupe and I want to try that new bumper crop potting soil I want to pit some of that in my smart pots
How do you keep your plants like Tomatoes and Cucumbers alive to overwinter them? My plants are pretty much yellow and look dried out by about October no matter how much I fertilize them. I live between Santa Cruz and Monterey Ca, in the 9b area. Thanks! Subscriber here.✋ Love your channel.😊
Would the basil that you cut to soil level have regrown if you didn't dump the soil? I want to save my basil that looked a lot like yours.
