Plants Cheer Me Up

I grew up in a tropical country where I could plant flowers and do some gardening at anytime of the year. When I got here in the North Country that changed allot. I can’t grow plants outside anytime I want because it is way too cold during the winter season. Sometimes I end up picking the vegetables in the garden before they are ready because I don’t want them to get killed by an early frost. I also need to bring the potted flowers in the house before they get damaged. It is a bit of a hassle taking them in and out of the house but someone has to do it. That is also one of the reasons that I only have less than a dozen of potted flowers because I don’t have much room for them in the house. Though there is lots of space for them in the basement, I can’t put them there because there is no sunlight.

Despite the hassle of transporting my plants in and out over the changing seasons, I still like having them around. Outdoor gardening is one of my favorite things to do during the summer while having my indoor flowers cheers me up during the long winter months.
