Winter Time! Question for Mitzi

[Rumi in Hawaii]

Ohh, good topic! I've direct-seeded green onions and tatsoi and the rain has beat them down (in Mountain View)...so will try them in pots protected from the rain. But the peas are doing well! Only one bean (asparagas) out of six came up, but it's doing alright even with the lack of sunshine lately. In seed start pack, I've got lettuce and broccoli doing well (protected from the rain). My cukes and squash are not protected, and are also doing well so far (they're about 3 inches high). Tomato's didn't come up very well in the seed start pack...probably lack of heat? Have rosemary, dill and parsley in pots, and the rosemary is getting pale in places (again, lack of sunshine?), but otherwise doing well. The dill, however, isn't happy. A grand experiment! Will concentrate more on the wonderful fruit trees from Plant It Hawaii, and on the trees/plants from Royal Palm Estates sale. Was thinking about keeping the Tahitian lime and Meyers lemon in large pots rather than planting them out? Any advice?
