In November the only gardening going on here is indoor gardening! It is going full force and supplying us with daily salads, pesto pickings, other veggies and fresh herbs. Also with our new ceramic halide grow lights we have lots of light to keep away the S.A.D. syndrome on our long winters with short days!
You'll notice a pink color of light in some of the pictures, this is from the LED grow light we bought last year. It throws off a weird light which we are not to happy with but it was fine for growing our lettuce, greens and herbs.

Indoor Garden Supplying Fresh Pesto Pickings
We invested in some new ceramic halide lights this year (we need lights in the sunroom during the winter for the sun doesn't come over the tree line at that time of year.) They throw off a terrific amount of light with lower wattage and we are happy with the growth we age getting on our plants.
We have benches set up against the south wall of the sunroom for 8 ft. which are 4 ft wide to grow our veggies and herbs on. Let's have a look.

In the remaining space along the south wall we have set up an area for growing the cannabis plants (it is legal to grow cannabis here in Canada.) After having a bit of a disaster trying to grow the plants outside with mold, we have decided to do all of our growing, year long, in the more controlled environment of the sunroom. We have set up a tent frame to enable us to darken them off and set down a sheet of styrafoam and plywood to insulate the floor.

Our dog and cat love the sunroom with the grow lights (as you can see with the picture of JJ lounging under the lights) - they have their outdoors indoors!
JJ even has his own catmint plant growing in the pot with our lemon eucalyptus. It was a volunteer from the summer but we left it growing for JJ loves it!

Bruno Looking Over the Lettuce Plants
On the north wall we have a light stand that I usually use to start my seedlings under but right now I have some mint plants (chocolate mint and strawberry mint), green onions, rhubarb chard with little Johnny-jump-up plants mixed in and another smaller Aloe Vera and some lettuce plants that I took out of the garden late in the season. They didn't really produce - just went to seed. I also have a banana plant mixed in with a taro plant growing along that wall by the entrance into the living room.
