Hello dear readers!
I know it's been awhile-I had a death in my family and that took me away from writing for awhile. I'm back though, and there are two new articles for you. One is a guide to safely transitioning your plants to outdoor living for the summer, and one is a guide to figuring out why a plant died and how to prevent it from happening again. Check them out and leave a comment to let me know what you think!
I was out in the garden today, planting begonias, impatiens, and geraniums, The best part about these plants, aside from their hardiness and beauty, is that once the growing season ends, they can be brought inside and put on a sunny windowsill! They will overwinter beautifully. Give it a try!

Hello everyone!
Summer is here and it's about time! I am sorry I haven't blogged in awhile, unfortunately May was a horrible month for me. Both of my computers went down at the same time, my bathroom plumbling went, one of my cat was diagnosed with cancer, and I was feeling under the weather for awhile to boot. Ugh! I am glad the month is over-I just know June will be better!
With summer in full swing your houseplants should be growing like crazy. Unfortunately this sometimes means pests are too, especially if you've put them outside. Check out our latest article for tips on how to fight them and keep your plants healthy!

Hi everyone!
I am back after a sudden hard drive failure. Here's a tip..if your computer starts making odd squeaking or grinding noises, back up your data ASAP because the end is near for your hard drive! I hadn't done a back up for about a month so I lost some data, but not as much as I could have!
On the bright side, the world is fresh and green again! I just love spring. I went to the local nursery and picked up some geraniums, violas and sweet potato vines, and now my windowsill garden is bright and happy. This time of year is a great time to find houseplants-most nurseries and garden centers will have a nice selection! Don't overlook plants you might not think of as houseplants-in addition to the ones mentioned above, coleus, impatiens, begonias and many herbs will do just fine inside!
