That is a lot of plants!

But darn good prices.

Do read up on 'bring plants indoors for the winter' or similar search words.
Great advice out there. Store bought and even healthy garden herbs and such bring
a boat load of issues...all sorts of critters, bugs, slugs, etc piggy-back and come inside
with your soil and pots.
They also like a bit of 'hardening off', similar to setting out starts in the Spring. A deck
area, on a table, is a good way to inspect each plant. A big tub and submerging
under water with a bit of gentle soap added helps. I'm using a weak peroxide dunk as
well along with segregation at least a couple weeks to monitor any issues with a
yellow sticky trap or two. (weak peroxide just as a potted soil dunk, not the whole
plant)

I started a Winter indoor garden thread last year but did not keep up with it with a busy
work schedule. Planning another one now for this up-coming Winter...
That divided into a micro green post and have kept that all growing after many trials...
have a good bit ongoing now. Even on holiday we have fresh salads every night.
