Indoor Gardening

Yes, the days are slowly getting longer, but we are far from outdoor gardening season. I am already perusing the seed catalogs. Spring can't come soon enough. To lift my sagging spirits, I tended to my indoor garden - houseplants. Some plants readily root when a cutting is placed in water. I planted several-week-old cuttings in pots. My African violet looked crowded. I planned to repot it. To my amazement, there were three plants in the pot! When did that happen? I broke them apart and gave each one its own pot. My husband threw a handful of marigold seeds in a pot as an experiment. They have sprouted and look terrific. Now the question is, how are we going to make room for all the new additions to our plant family?
