Diane, maybe if you DO plant rice the storms will stop I bought my tea olive from Logee's-- a small plant, but it just took off. I keep the plants as far as possible from the woodstove and have plastic saucers under several which have water for humidity. The tea olive gets NO pampering... although I do dilute leftover coffee and feed all the plants occasionally with that. I use "high-test" for the plants :>) They go outside in the spring except for the lemon if it has fruit--grasshoppers have always destroyed the fruit outside.
XO,
Ann

Oh goodness, I can't wait for Spring! Even though it's been unseasonably warm so far this winter, I'm still ready for more sunshine, warmth, and green! Unfortunately, I don't have much room for gardening. My boyfriend's mom does most of the work, but I really want to help out more this year. And there's PLENTY to do at my parents' house! I was a girl scout camp counselor the past two summers at a resident camp and only had Friday night to Sunday morning off; and I spent most of the weekends with my boyfriend. With both my parents working full time over the summer (my mom usually works part time) and me gone, the garden turned into a jungle! I'm skipping camp this summer in hopes of finding a more permanent job A.S.A.P., so I'll have more time to garden! Yay!  I just love your greenhouses Diane! I can't wait to get my own house and yard, or land if I'm lucky, so I can turn it into the garden of my dreams! I tried starting seeds in my kitchen last spring, but the cats walked all over my pots! I'd love to have a greenhouse! I can't wait to smell that tomato plant smell again! Tomatoes are my favorite vegetable, well, fruit really, but you know what I mean! Ooo, I'm so excited (just in case you couldn't tell by my excessive use of the exclamation point!!!) Sweet Spring dreams to all of you!
Much love,
Laura
