I decided to take up gardening this Spring. What this means in my vernacular is that I’ve moved some of my prized houseplants to designated spots on my backyard patio. Since the closest I’ve ever come to real gardening is puttering around with potted plants ranging from African Violets to Boston Ferns, I figured this was a good first step. I have to admit, I’m feeling pretty self-satisfied, if I do say so myself.
