Its spring! Time to start the gardin!



Every spring I like to challenge myself to grow a plant (normally a flower) other then the usual house plants. I've never really had a green thumb but sometimes the flowers end up living and I have a nice focal pop of colour in my room.

This year I've chosen to grow Aster flowers (seen above) for their symbolism. "Symbol of love, daintiness, talisman of love" (wiki) This seems to fit with my life right now.


If you have more of a green thumb then I do perhaps you should try a slightly larger outdoors garden, or a small herb garden (the kind that comes in a kit). Gardening can be a relaxing hobby for the long summer days as long as you dont get your favorite dress dirty!


Do you enjoy gardening or ever try to grow anything?
