I have a primrose blooming outdoors, but the weather prevents me from presenting it today. Therefore I offer you a picture of the indoor garden eggplant which now stands at 22″ tall with leaves that measure 10″ in length…and just look at those flowers! Share this post Hide Sites It seems all at once everything has changed in the indoor garden. A week’s distraction has revealed: Eggplant leaves that measure 8 inches in length! The first delicate, white blossoms of peppers. More okra… I wasn’t even sure it would grow. I’m glad I tried! Though a bit smaller [...]

Gardening is my favorite distraction, and the indoor garden is proving to be a wonderful November alternative to its declining outdoor relative. I always intend to check the indoor garden quickly, but ultimately I am drawn in and spend an hour or more puttering [...] There are not seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child. There are seven million. ~Walt Streightiff I’ve gained an “apprentice” in the indoor garden. Our 12 year-old son is fascinated with the vegetable and herb seedlings growing under lights.
