<strong><span style="color: purple;">Bay is an herb and the leaves can be dried and used in cooking. I use mine in soups, stews, and sauces. They add a delicious flavor throughout the dish. Once you're tried fresh Bay leaves, you'll never go back to store bought ones again.</span></strong><br />

Starting geraniums under fluorescent lights if possible, is ideal, as sunny windows early in life will cause plants to become too leggy. <br />
<br />
Lightly cover the seeds, moisten and germinate at 21C. If you pinch the plants back, you'll encourage a compact, bushy shape. Here's a rose pink geranium I have blooming indoors right now...</strong></span></div><span style="color: purple;"><strong></strong></span></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: purple;">I like to grow my blooming plants in windows with good morning sunshine but shelter from hot afternoon heat. Lots of water is needed to keep flowers healthy and blooming. I recommend a good quality, well-draining medium. I find flowering plants that are slightly rootbound tend to bloom a little more. It's also a good idea to remove all your spent blooms to encourage the plants to continue to produce new blooms. Leaving dead flowers on the plant will send a message to the plant that it already has blooms and no need to make anymore, so deadheading is a good practice indeed.</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_2681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_2681.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: purple;">Although this plant belongs to the deadly nightshade family, unlike tomatoes and eggplant, it is poisonous and should be kept out of reach of small children and pets. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: purple;">If you don't have a lot of sun available, this is the plant for you, because it prefers bright, diffused light. The seeds are inside the cherries and they germinate easily. This plant enjoys being pruned and shaped and it thrives in a pot. It usually gets about a foot tall and tends to trail down the pot in an attractive sort of way. </span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: purple;">The secret to it's success is misting...which this plant loves. The plant produces little white tomato/pepper-like blossoms, followed by green fruits that ripen yellow through orange.</span></strong></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_2690.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://i375.photobucket.com/albums/oo193/hollyberrylady08/3rd%20album/IMG_2690.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">This plant used to be grown a lot in the 70's and if you watch old 'Three's Company' episodes, you'll see a lot of Jerusalem Cherry plants. This plant is also sometimes referred to as "Christmas Cherry". It's one of my favorite houseplants because of it's charming appearance. It's easy-to-grow and please. A plant that should be grown more than it is today.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">Don't be put off because it's poisonous. So are poinsettias and we bring them into our homes every year. Just be cautious and it will make a wonderful addition to your houseplant collection.</span></strong><br />

<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">Growing plants in the aero-garden is very easy and you will have success. Things germinate quickly and easily just by placing the seeds on top of the little moist sponges that fit into your aero-garden system. It's like having a little mini hydroponic system in your home. Because Aero-Garden units are conpact, they can be placed just about anywhere in your home...like dark corners.</span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: purple;">The following are pictures of my own aero-garden plants. You can grow anything from strawberries...</span></strong><br />

The satisfaction you'll get out of starting your own plant from a young seedling, is indescribable. Both children and adults love it and they can take pride in the results of their efforts.</strong></span><br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="color: purple;"><strong>You need to start with some good fresh viable seeds and a good quality light and well-draining medium, so your seeds can come up easily and hassle-free. Using a mist bottle is a great and gentle way to trick seeds into thinking it's spring time. It's been proven that misted seeds come up quicker and more reliably. The spray of water is also gentle enough that it's not gonna move your seeds all over the place while you're trying to keep things moist. </strong></span><span style="color: purple;"><strong><br />
</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"><strong>The anticipation of waiting for your seeds to sprout can make you feel like a kid at Christmas time waiting for Santa. It's sometimes good to keep your seeds in your pot covered until the little plants appear, so that things stay warm and moist, like a greenhouse. Be sure to keep your pots warm until your seeds germinate, although some seeds, like pansy and strawberry, like things to be on the cooler side to germinate.</strong></span></div><span style="color: purple;"><strong></strong></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><strong><div dir="ltr">Do seeds need light to sprout? </div><div dir="ltr"><br />
If the seeds are covered...no light is required for germination. If the seeds are sown on top of the soil, or barely covered, then they definitely do need some light for successful germination to take place. </div></strong><div dir="ltr"></div></span><br />
<div dir="ltr"></div><span style="color: purple;"><strong>Wet your soil down before sowing your seeds so they don't get washed away. Use warm water and keep things moist but never soggy. Soggy soil will cause your seeds to rot. You also want to use sterile soil so that the seedings won't die from damping-off bacteria or pests. Keeping things sterile and clean are very important.</strong></span><br />

As long as you have some good quality soil that drains well, you're in business...and you don't need a very big pot either. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">Hot peppers grow great indoors and although they like to be fertilized, they require no pollination whatsoever. Neither do strawberries. Here are a few pics of some of my indoor hot peppers...</span></strong><br />
