It can be a challenge to enjoy your green thumb throughout the year. The good news is that there are a few ways you can continue growing plants and vegetables regardless of what season it is. Following are several ideas that will allow you to continue gardening all year round.
Bring in the Houseplants
When the temperatures start to drop, there’s no better solution than loading up on houseplants. Be sure to place them in appropriate parts of the home to receive the right amount of sunlight throughout the day. If you have a great room with tall ceilings, an indoor tree can be a fun way to create visual appeal while adding just the right touch of nature to your living space.
Build a Greenhouse
Every avid gardener can appreciate a greenhouse. If your home doesn’t already have one, it might be time to consider building a greenhouse to extend your growing season well into winter. Another exciting home feature is a solarium, which is essentially a room that’s made entirely of glass. Solariums are great for plants that need warmer temperatures and an abundance of light.
Start an Indoor Herb Garden
For those who want to have fresh herbs readily available in their kitchen, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s easy to grow them right inside your home any time of year. From flavorful dinners to herb-infused cocktails, you’ll find plenty of ways to put them to good use and enjoy the wonders of nature.
Grow Hearty Vegetables
Depending on just how cold it gets, and how willing you are to brave those frigid temperatures, you can always head outside to grow winter veggies. Cabbage, kale and Brussels sprouts are just a few examples of vegetables that can be grown in cold weather and harvested to make hearty winter dishes.
