Have you tried,.. or do you have any interest in trying,..(hehe) herbs indoors? I'm kinda curious, I thought it might be a nice way to add plants to the house that are both decorative and aromatic. some rosemary or thyme perhaps? I'm not really sure what might do well inside, I do have a nice bow window that could use something green growing there

Forest...awesome looking stuff! Probably the first time ever never even made it over there. Since it next to the bathrooms(have to go there once in awhile ) so I enjoy checking out the amazing types of rabbits and chickens, we used to have both. I hope early in the morning you don't try to crack open one of those awesome looking soap eggs. :lol:

Wow you two are so talented. I hope when I get to Maine I will have done my homework so that I can raise a lot of my own food. It's been forever since I had even so much as a veggig garden (way too much shade in my yard and could never bring myself to cut down a tree, probably would need some kind of permit in my town anyway...grr)

Yes.

We sprouted all of our plants indoors last spring.

And we kept a few indoors.

We really need lights to do better though.

Bonnie wants to do that, she has been checking things out and thinking very much about starting to sell her soaps.

OK, here they are, in the right post. First picture is of the April storm just getting started out here in Western Maine. Second is when it really gave us what it had.

Very nice photos, MOC! Is that black & white film or just the color of things? Cool!!

And Forest, I'd buy some of those earthtone colored soap eggs if you start selling them. I'll even pay for shipping to Texas! You know, those sort of things makes great XMas gifts fixed up in little baskets. I can think of 5 women in our family right now that I'd love to have a set for. Actually, packaging them IN the egg cartons with a little ribbon wrapped around or something like that would be cool! Actually, make that 6 women I know!

She may think about marketing during the holidays. I think you'd have your first set of sales from this forum!
