I have an avocado tree started from the pit of an avocado that we enjoyed sometime ago. I also grow rose geraniums, a date palm from an "accidental" pit in a bag of dates, and a few pink impatiens rescued from the cold. I have one basil plant, a result from trying to establish a patch of basil this past summer; from a whole bag of seeds, only one seed germinated!
This little island of green in my living room is the only connection to the sanity the garden brings to me.
