One of the most intriguing things I’ve found on the Internet lately has definitely been The WindowFarms Project. The project was started by New York artists, Britta Riley and Rebecca Bray, through a residency at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center. It was sponsored by Riley and Bray’s interactive design firm, Submersible Design. The women originally set-out [...] When I was in college, my mother gave me what I thought was a very odd Christmas present one year–a pot of dirt covered with a towel. I’ve never been very good at pretending I like presents I really don’t like, and I have to admit, my initial reaction was less than enthusiastic. It was [...] Last Spring I bought an orchid. To be honest, I didn’t know anything about them or how to care for one, but it was just so pretty, I couldn’t resist. Over the last year, I’ve learned quite a bit about them. Many people will say they are a hard plant to maintain because they are [...] We’ve come to Part V, our final part of this five part series of how to grow your own herbs in your home.

It is very closely related to parsley, and is actually called “Chinese parsley.” The herb is used in many Asian foods, and often in Mexican dishes, [...] Basil is a very commonly used herb in cooking. As such, it’s a great herb to grow indoors! Basil is very sensitive to colder weather and requires a good amount of sun. Honestly, the majority of us live in climates that are only warm enough for outdoor basil 3-4 months a year, making indoor growing [...] With the shift toward cooking at home coming back into favor, many people are enjoying growing their own herbs to use in their recipes. Because most of our environments don’t necessarily lend to favorable conditions to grow herbs outdoors, many of us have started our own little indoor herb gardens. Indoor herb gardens are relatively [...] Geraniums are one of the easiest flowers to grow and maintain. They are a favorite among home gardeners and are great as container plants for indoor living. Geraniums are wonderful mixed in with the other flowers in your garden, as hedges to your garden, or placed in pots around the outside of your house. How To [...] |
