Indoor Gardening


I love plants.  I have several... so many in fact that we're running out of places to put them!  It's so hard not to buy a new orchid or shamrock when I see them at stores! 

I recently got a bunch of seed packets from my mom (thank you!), and decided to see if I could grow them indoors.  After a trip to Home Depot for supplies for this and another project, John suggested a brilliant idea: Why not paint the pots with the spray paint I bought for an art project (more on that later this week)?

So.. I did!

All you need is spray paint and terra cotta pots!
 Ours will grow marjoram, forget-me-nots, chamomile, anise, and pennyroyal.  I hope they all sprout!

  2. I love this idea! Unfortunately, both my husband's and my own thumbs are not green. We kill everything! You should post a blog entry with tips for healthy plants! ;-)

    1. Lol! I'm not sure I have a green thumb, but I do water my plants whenever I think of it (if I try and do it on a schedule, I end up forgetting!)
