Instead of simple ivy and ferns, why not try keeping useful herb plants on your window sill? Many garden plants can be transplanted indoors for the winter, so you can enjoy them year-round. I bring in my rosemary and lavender for their scent. Chives and parsley can also live indoors, enabling anyone to have freshly picked green herbs year round. Thyme does well if it's in a large enough pot with plenty of Sun. Basil and marjoram grow quickly from seed in a pot on a window sill. If you find garlic starting to sprout, you can plant it, root down, and grow more garlic indoors. Most of these plants have magical or healing properties. |
