Indoor Gardening

Right now I'm somewhere up in the sky. We left for Bangalore Tuesday morning (Alaska time) and won't get to India until midnight on Thursday morning (India time). That includes the 13 hours of time difference but you know what? Travel is completely a different story when you do it without children. I'm actually looking forward to 23 uninterrupted hours with my husband. We'll have the row all to ourselves, I won't have to drive anyone anywhere and people will be bringing me food instead of the other way round. I have books to read, a little knitting to do, my crosswords puzzles in my bag and a short story I'm working on. I might sleep a bit, I might watch a movie and I'm headed to a place where I'm guaranteed to thaw out.

Life is good.

And to continue with the good mood, spring is coming on strong which has got me thinking about gardening.

Pothole gardens. As in gardens, grown in a pothole. Hmmm. . . .

Followed by postcard gardens. As in gardens, grown in a postcard. Double hmmm. . . .

The tiniest gardens in the world might be these two grown in Altoid tins.

In fact, there are so many great ideas for terrariums that it's hard to post them all.

Here are a few: One Two Three

I saw tips for growing ginger root indoors. Now that's appealing.

And for growing a vertical garden using recycled rain gutters. How clever is that?

Almost as clever as using this shoe storage unit for a vertical garden.

And this Etsy store has beautiful wood planters for tiny arrangements.

Now get up and grow something!
