I am the worst indoor gardener, just dreadful, but mostly because I have so few south-facing windows in the hut here. (And stained glass everywhere else.) I can't wait to see what type of sunroom you decide on eventually. :-)<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-67435518293816160502016-01-18T12:15:15.794-06:002016-01-18T12:15:15.794-06:00Hi Beth.

They survived the winter and went outside for the summer. Brought them in this winter but many haven't adjusted well to the indoors. Of the ones that are doing well, the best of the bunch is the hoya. I have two huge plants that don't seem to mind the central heat and the decreased sunlight. They go into the bathtub every two weeks and get a shower. I see you have the curly hoya in your collection. You will love it.Roses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-26122668540467388842016-01-17T23:22:42.110-06:002016-01-17T23:22:42.110-06:00Hi Kate, thanks for your kind words.

I've been careful not to bring home anything that's seriously toxic (my husband is a cat vet, so I'm aware of the short list of really deadly poisonous plants for cats, but the ones that merely make them throw up or feel sick for a short time I just try to put up a bit higher...). I hope you are getting along well in the January cold, and derive many hours of enjoyment from the exciting and tempting catalog offerings!

I'm sure your weather in the Dallas area would feel warm to me, but highs in the 40s probably feel pretty chilly to you! As far as the Hyacinth, you should leave it in the glass to bloom indoors. They can be planted outside after blooming, but they don't usually bloom as well after the first year (unlike daffodils), and I'm not certain that it gets cold enough in your area to give it the winter chill it requires before blooming again. But you could buy pre-chilled bulbs next autumn (as many southerners do) and use the Aldi glass again for those. (Or just enjoy it once.)

I just got a couple for my porch recently as they seem such fascinating plants so I will see how they do. I know you say there is not much to look at from your windows but honestly the view from your kitchen across that wide open landscape is just beautiful! I loved the little painting and also that indoor garden book. It will be so exciting to see your porch plans come to fruition and its lovely to have something to plan towards during the winter months. Thank you so much for sharing the photos of your lovely home!<br />- KateAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080194896492043939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-53591201241003503582016-01-16T08:18:58.941-06:002016-01-16T08:18:58.941-06:00Oh that would be awesome to have a sunroom!

I wish I could have more houseplants, but sadly one of my cats chews on anything green. But with all the warm weather we've had, my desperation for spring green has been not quite as bad this winter so far, and I'm tiding myself over with plant catalogs.

I know, we are whimps. None the less, winter time dreaming of the coming spring is a fun thing to do. Love the upcoming before and after of bath room and the conversion of your porch to a sunroom.<br />I saw the hyacinth at Aldi's but (as a newbie gardener) didn't know if you were supposed to keep it in the vase as a newbie or put it in the ground eventually.<br />Thanks for the January report.

It will be good when you can construct a sun room so that you can display your impressive collection of indoor plants. I'm pleased that my husband completely covered our side yard so that it's now a conservatory, a place to sit in during warm weather and an extension of the garden for growing and storing plants. Staying indoors reading your books on gardening sounds like a good idea with such cold weather.<br />Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5499733980063503352.post-4970535437156464882016-01-15T16:25:46.409-06:002016-01-15T16:25:46.409-06:00My goodness, that porch painting is beautiful.
