    Sorrel is usually okay in winter weather, unless you live in the far north. You can try covering it with garden fabric, mulching the base of the plant to keep the roots warmer, or building a cold frame.

    You don't need to wait for the plant to mature. Just pick the young leaves off the plant as you need them after about a month.

    This worked great in my aero garden. I used an empty pod and purchased the seeds online. They grew very quickly, and before I knew it, it went to seed. If you grow indoors, it needs really good light. Otherwise, invest in a grow light with the red and green lights similar to the aero garden.
