We started this indoor gardening project to supply us with fresh greens for the winter and it has done that very well.

We have lettuce growing and in any empty spots in the pots I stick in some green onion cuttings- regrowing them from scraps.

I added a lovely Poinsettia to add some color to the indoor garden. blue jay in lettuce and pointsetta to add color to the indoor garden.JPG

The other big thing in our indoor garden right now is the Cannabis plants (now that they are legal in Canada.) We had a couple of mother plants growing and took some cuttings from it for growing out in the covered garden for the summer.
then we let them flower and they are starting to set nice bud.

The cuttings are really growing well. We have them in 4 inch pots but will soon be potting them up into one gallon pots to try to maximize their growth.

Outside everything is under a blanket of white snow. The birds added some extra color and entertain me watching them out the kitchen window.

We had a real heavy wet snow in October that totally bent our pure Amur maple right down. The snow just keeps piling up on it which makes for an interesting design.

I've got my seeds all picked out and will be starting some in February.
We want to buy one more grow light for our sun room to utilize all the growing space in the winter. Then I will start some Cool Breeze cucumbers (they do well growing in pots) and some Zucchini for I love Zooddles with my pesto.

Thanks for stopping by!
