Winter gardening, indoor and out

The new Poinsettia, just hope I can keep this one alive.

During the winter months I concentrate on the indoor gardening. At least the first snowfall has made the garden look nicer.

More Indoor Gardening, just bought a Poinsettia.

Now I know winter is here, I have added a Poinsettia to my collection. I haven't had one of these for a few years because I'm not that good at keeping them past Christmas..............advice always welcome, maybe with a few pointers this one may survive into February.

Unlike the Poinsettia my Bamboo has exceeded all expectations. These started life as a few green shoots about 2 inches tall growing in water in an ornamental tub given to me for Mothers day this year.............yep thats right.........this year!! Don't ask me how they grew so big in such a short time 'cos I have no idea. They outgrew the pot they came in so I thought I should plant them up in compost and this is the result.

The one in the green and yellow pot, that is some sort of miniature orange plant. This one I rescued from 'friend' who I branded a plant abuser, the poor thing was almost dead (plant not friend) but I think it's doing OK now.

The three in the window are the 'babies' I told you about from the big Money Plant that sits in my kitchen window.

My outdoor garden remains out of bounds but at least it looks better now that is has a soft covering of snow; and until it is more accessible I can happily play with my indoor garden.
