I have beautiful spring bulbs in my front garden, tulips, hyacinths, daffodils. I also have a lilac tree and some pansies I planted.

My house is full of plants, too. I don't know the names of all of them but I will take some pics....

This is much fuller now than 2 weeks ago when I took this...

lol @ ganjamon
i dont even smoke pot so there is no point for me to grow it (even though i think they are the most beautiful plants on the planet).

plus they stink like a mother****** once you force flower.

so heres an update...

i moved both my peppermint plants outside and they are doing well.
i moved three of my naga jolokia peppers outside but they are not doing so well due to the cold summer we're having.
the one naga jolokia i still have indoor under the LED light is doing fantastic. i just transplanted it to a 12" pot yesterday (from a 5" clay pot).

i got a 4x2 ft grow tent coming in the mail as well as some jalapeno and habanero seeds.
gonna run a small (four 3 gallon buckets) DWC hydroponics system. germinating seeds in rockwool and using hydroton as the medium. should be interesting. i cant wait to get it all running and take pics of it.

Peppermint is a perennial plant, you can leave it outside and it'll flourish and spread.

I have so much of it outside that I don't know what to do with.

The easiest to grow are the Phalaenopsis or "Moth Orchid" as they've been conditioned to grow in North American homes. I have a couple and one of them has flowered three times in one year. I keep them under my bamboo so they don't get blasted by the direct sun shining though my window. My bamboo is about 12-14 feet tall and I have two of them. I also have a 12 foot tree in the same room.

I have this other orchid from the lady slipper family (Oncidium) that I smuggled up from Atlanta many years ago. I purchased it from a Home Depot. The flowers aren't big and it usually throw two spikes every year. The thing about this particular orchid is that when it's in bloom, the flowers have a strong smell or sweet candy. You feel like eating the thing... that's how good they smell.

I started growing basil, rosemary and chives on my balcony. The basil is growing so fast I don't know what to do with it! lol

A good tip is use seaweed extract once a week when you water the plants. It gives them plenty of strength.

A sign that TOTAs are growing older is when they start talking gardening

On the topic of gardening does any one have any tips on how to protect potted flowers from squirrels?

My one pot is completely destroyed
