| Tabletop Terrarium
|
|
Make a tabletop terrarium from those odds and ends that tend to accumulate and clutter your cupboards. Use a shallow basket, lined with a plastic bag and filled with potting soil, and choose what small plants you want to work with and pot a couple of them in the soil.

| A Garden Window
|
  When putting in new windows, think about a "garden window" in the kitchen! We are enjoying springtime in the winter with our new garden window and have enjoyed growing fresh parsley, mint and other seasonings.

| Growing With Artificial Lights
|
|
By Ellen Brown
|
 The best light for plants may be natural light, but using artificial lights to sprout seeds and grow plants does have its advantages. It's never cloudy and windy indoors, artificial lights eliminate the need for south facing window sills (or any windows at all), and we can make "sunny days" last as long as we want them to no matter the time of year. In short, our gardens can keep blooming all year long!

| Caring For Poinsettia Plant Year Round
|
|
Does anyone know how to keep a pointsettia plant from one year to the next. My cousin gave me a beautiful plant at the beginning of December and it is still going strong. I have heard that if you keep them in a cool dark place, they will "reflower" the following year. Is this true? Do I need to water it on a regular basis if I do keep it in a cool dark place? Any help would be appreciated.

Every year you plan that THIS will be the year you have pots and pots
of lush plants on your balcony or deck. Then you visit your local
nursery in the spring and reality hits - the cost for your fantasy
is just outrageous! Sound familiar?
But you can have the planters of your dreams at a fraction of the
cost and with a choice of varieties far beyond what the local garden
center offers. How? Start your own flower seeds now.
