When the cold weather comes and you can no longer grow your own garden produce (or find local fruits and vegetables at the market), it can really throw a curveball in your recipe plans until the seasons change again. Sure, you can still find delicious ingredients, but they're never quite the same as something grown fresh at home. Luckily, if you have some space indoors, you can easily grow smaller tomato varieties right on your windowsill, even in the winter.

Rosemary needs high-drainage soil, and wilts under excess moisture. To facilitate this, add a coarse material such as gravel, grit, perlite, or sand into the soil. Incorporating these larger particles breaks up dense areas of soil and avoids compacted layers, improving air circulation and increasing drainage. When it comes to soil (especially in container gardening, when the plant is unable to pull nutrients or moisture it needs from the surrounding earth), cultivating healthy, high-production rosemary means nailing the right conditions.
