Re: My Intro NOW Houseplants

Zem: I have very few shady spots on my property...lots of full sun and
virtually no overhang on the house. The houseplants are pretty exposed
in the full blast of the midwestern sun, so I think that this year I'm
going to refrain from putting them outside and just try to pay a little
better attention to them. And maybe when we re-do our deck this summer
or next, I'll try to figure out a way to make an outdoor space for them
where they'll be more protected...maybe a built in shelving system or
something for displaying them. Any ideas?
