Winter Gardening Itch

Along about this time of year

when snow is sitting on the ground

and it's so cold out

you can't bare to venture outside.

I get the itch.

I just have to PLANT something!

 

 

Both Southern Living and Better Homes and Garden

did articles about terrariums

this month.  I was seasoned and ready

to give it a try.

Went to my local nursery and purchased an assortment
of suitable plants...baby tears, mosses and such.

Better Homes and Garden suggested using
African violet mix so that's what I got.
 

 

 

I already had the glass containers and the pebbles

I would need, the only other thing I had

to purchase, besides plants and soil,

was some charcoal.

I just got a jar from the pet department

 at Walmart.

 

 

 

 

It was easy...

just a layer of rocks,

a layer of soil,

a layer of charcoal,

then your plants.

 

 

I added a few more stones

on top for interest.

 

Now all I have to do is

figure out how to care for them.

I'm still trying to master the

water amount.

 

If you need a gardening fix like me,

give it a try.

 

Happy Gardening!
