Rainy Day Garden Tasks
This week it has been quite rainy, and that got me thinking about what a gardener can do on rainy days. There's not much that can be done outside on rainy days, but there are quite a few gardening tasks that can be done indoors.
Indoor Aquatic Plants
One of the most common problems I see when it comes to growing plants indoors is overwatering. What if there was a way to eliminate this problem entirely? Aquatic plants are impossible to overwater because they grow in water!
Growing Sprouts
I have fond childhood memories of going out for lunch after Sunday church to Dale’s (Duff’s) Smorgasbord in Gallipolis, OH. To me the coolest thing wasn’t the rotating buffet but the salad bar. On the salad bar they had alfalfa sprouts. Being a weird kid the preferred vegetables over sweets, I would always pile my plate high with alfalfa sprouts and those little ears of corn. As a kid, I always wondered how those sprouts were grown.
Growing Microgreens at Home
Over the next few weeks we’re going to talk about foods you can grow inside during the winter. One of the absolute easiest vegetables to grow on the kitchen windowsill is microgreens — the perfect topping for any quick salad.
Houseplant Care Basics
Last week we talked about ways you can reconnect with nature in 2019. One of the ways you can reconnect is to bring the outdoors inside. Over the next few weeks we’re going to look at unique projects and plants to keep your indoor spaces a green, lush oasis.
