Blaine,
I have a parlor palm on my desk in an office with no windows, just fluorescent overhead lights. The plant has flourished since I got it at home depot for less than $3. I would say go for it

I have been trying to grow a yam for a least 2 weeks now and only have a few roots and no shoots. Should I start over? And where is the best store in San Diego to buy a yam with eyes? Or do they have to have eyes?

Sweet potatoes like heat and don’t like to be over watered. In fact a little neglect and they will thrive more!

The spikey part in the middle of the peace lily flower has turned brown. On all of the flowers and the white part is turning green. Any ideas why? I’m concerned it a reflexion on the air quality in the room. Coud it be? Thanks!

My grandmother always had sweet potato vines growing her her window in preparation for the next year’s garden planting. The soil found in northern Indiana was rich with nutrients and she always had a bumper crop of vegetables including award winning HUGE potatos. I currently have a sweet potato vine, grown from a selected potato with the characteristics that I am looking for, addorning the window in my home office. I am planning, in the same manner that my grandmother did, to set the vines in the garden when the time comes so that we can enjoy many meals in the fall and winter months that include organic sweet potatos. The joy of producing our own vegetables has been passed down for generations and it is a prudent way to reduce the grocery bill. We tend to grown organic – heirloom varities as their nutritional value tends to be 8-10 times the nutritional value of the hybridized selection that one finds in their local supermarket today! Food for thought…….
