they turn into white moths that will linger around all the brassicas in your garden. very pretty but also ruinous.

the decor of their house really helps it feel more spacious. airy light colors and closed cabinets keeps any feeling of "all my objects are stacked on every wall" that you get from a lot of tiny homes. very inspiring and attractive home!

in general, if plants don't survive in your home, it's because they don't get enough light or they are improperly watered. The real key is to pick plants that suit the space rather than always being disappointed that you can't grow tomatoes in your dark corners. Ask at the local nursery which plants suit your needs.

Heidi the architect, why do you say it's no longer in print? It seems to be readily available and still in print (not to mention required reading for several fields of study.) This is one of those books that everyone who reads totally raves about and it's been on my "to read" list for the last year!

i have over 100 seedlings started in the bedroom right now and i have NEVER understood all these posts about kooky things in which to start seeds. you can buy 36 expanding peat pellets for about $3. They don't take up any room or make any mess so you can keep them from year to year if you don't use them up. You don't have to use bags of potting mix at all. You can plant the peat pots without worrying about the roots being stunted (which IS a worry with egg shells, lemon rinds and a host of other things that ARE biodegradable but not in the amount of time that the seedling needs to expand it's roots!)

i saw this in nyc recently and thought the packaging was really cute. i didn't buy though because from the packaging i saw you couldn't tell what was inside or the quality of it. would have benefited from the store having an open kit or two for perusal.
