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. |

!!!! I love orchids.
i plan on adding a few to my room soon.
I just need to find the perfect ones. |
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. |

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 :( |
