Hi. Do you grow tulsi and other herbs mentioned outdoors or under cover? My tulsi didn’t make it outdoors one year 😢

Hiya, we grow them all both indoors and outdoors. If growing them outdoors they should be treated as annuals and harvested at the end of the season. Indoors, you can grow Ashwagandha as a perennial and harvest the roots after 2 years.. for outdoor Ashwagandha we harvest it in it's first autumn, so treat it like an annual as it won't make it through the winter. Same for Tulsi. Hope that helps :)
