Getting Back Into Your Green Groove

It is still summer; but the weather often tells a different story. In our area of Ontario the temperature will drop to 1 degree Celsius tonight.  Be that as it may, the calendar doesn't lie.
The students are back in school and the vacations are mostly over.  Part of getting back into the routines of personal and family life is getting back into your green groove:

• plants that you have placed outside for the summer should be conditioned for coming back inside
• evaluation of your houseplant collection should be made to cull out the weak or spent plants and determine what new plants should go where
• educate yourself about what plants will benefit your home life and how to care for them and provide the environment they need.

• check your supply of plant care products -food, fertilizer, leafshine, insecticides, pots, potting mix

We will be addressing these subjects over the next little while but for now just think about making living green 
a part of your life and the life of your family.  I recently read that houseplants, regardless of how simple, are evidence of a life being in that place.  Make your home your own and get back into your green groove.
