GARDENING  NO 11;

The indoor Food Factory

The first thing I did this bank Holiday was to sort out all my indoor plants. The Tomatoes really needed repotting, luckily it was warm enough to take them outside and pot them up in the garden. Now they are sitting in the sun in my kitchen in front of the Peppers. They still look a bit droopy here because I’ve not finished fixing them to the support canes. I’ve pinched out the tops so hopefully they will begin to bush out a bit. I think they are in shock at being uprooted but I’m sure they will settle in a couple of days and begin to look a bit brighter......

To read the rest of this follow the link over to Jungleblogs, its group for people who love gardens and its open to every one. I've decided to post my garden blogs over there in future,

Indoor Gardening

Some of the house plants that have kept me company over the winter when it just wasn't possible to get out side. I can't imagine a home without plants, they give me so much pleasure and improve the quality of the air in my home.

INDOOR GARDENING

Now that my garden is cold, wet, uninviting and out-of-bounds ‘till spring, I need to learn to appreciate my indoor gardening a bit more.
My Christmas cactus is in bloom. It’s a very young plant and this is the first time it’s bloomed.

A few years ago I ‘rescued’ a neglected and half dead Money Plant from my work. That was a couple of years ago. Since then it’s grown three times its original size, it’s given me half a dozen or so ‘babies, which are all doing well, and now it proudly occupies the best place in the kitchen window.

My Aloe Vera is another young plant. It was taken as a tiny side shoot from a colleagues plant earlier this year and already it needs repotting.
And these a just a few of the many.
