We do the same with our tomatoes. We don't have much luck with lettuce. The weather's too unpredictable in winter and it has a very bad habit of becoming 'summer' overnight! LOL!
Don't know if you've grown any herbs, but a couple of things I've learned is that rosemary makes a lovely bush suitable for landscaping and herbs like dill and mint shouldn't be planted anywhere you don't want them to take over....they're masters of self-propigation!
Oh,,, and if you plant oregano, I'd suggest the Mediterranean variety. It's a much hardier plant than some of the others.

Glad to hear from you again, teeny! I, for one, DID wonder where you'd gone, but there are quite a few of us 'oldtimers' who have left or just don't post all that much anymore.
