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?
