HIGHTLIGHTS From Late Winter Dome VLOG 2026
I’ve shared my experience with hens and chicks in the dome greenhouse during winter, alongside Boston Ferns. Throughout the years, these plants have become my favorites to bring indoors, allowing me to enjoy their beauty throughout the winter months here in Ohio. There’s something truly special about having a touch of summer tropical greenery when the world outside is blanketed in snow. Not only do these plants add life and color to my space but they also remind me of the resilience and beauty of nature.
Each winter, as the temperatures drop, I find comfort in the lush foliage of my Boston Ferns and the unique charm of the hens and chicks. They have become more than just plants; they are companions that bring a sense of peace and continuity through the colder season, bridging the gap until spring returns. As I tend to them, I am reminded of the joys of gardening and the simple pleasures of nurturing life, no matter the weather outside.
Herbs have provided an exciting opportunity for experimentation in the geodesic bio dome over the last ten years. One of the highlights of my year is exploring new varieties while many gardeners have paused their efforts for winter. I often come across a few herbs locally at irresistible discount prices. Even if I struggle to keep them alive, it always turns into a valuable learning experience. For instance, my journey with French and Russian Tarragon has been particularly enlightening. These two varieties, while both delightful in their own ways, have their unique challenges and rewards. French Tarragon, with its subtle anise flavor, has been a joy to incorporate into my culinary endeavors. However, it can be a bit finicky, preferring well-drained soil and a bit of extra care during the colder months. On the other hand, Russian Tarragon, though not as flavorful, is far more robust and forgiving, thriving even when conditions aren’t perfect.
Growing these herbs in the dome has not only enhanced my winter gardening but also enriched my cooking. There’s something incredibly satisfying about snipping fresh herbs right before dinner, knowing they’ve been nurtured in my own little indoor oasis. Each season, I learn something new about how to better care for them and adapt their environment to suit their needs.
As I continue to expand my collection, I’m eager to try other varieties like lemon thyme and pineapple sage, each promising a unique twist to my herb garden. With every new plant, I discover fresh inspiration and a deeper appreciation for the resilience and diversity of these wonderful herbs.
