First of all, happy new year and merry Christmas to all of you! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and didn’t over indulge in delicious goodies 
Now that 2010 is here, we’re finally at that point of the year when we can start filling up our windowsills with this year’s crops.
Now that the longest day has hit, I’m starting to realise how close we really are to a new decade. In 10 short days we’ll have the chance to start on the promises everyone has been waiting all year to make, and I can’t wait.
With some things you’ll grow, it’ll be easy enough to grow from cuttings or planting the bulb in the ground (onions, garlic, etc) but at other times that will be a bit more difficult. That’s when growing from seeds is the best option. It’s often far cheaper and much more portable than a pre-existing plant from a nursery. You won’t need anything special to grow from scratch, just a container, water and some form of compost.
I’m sure we’ve all experienced the horror of trying to move a plant from one place to another only to find it dead within the week. I remember once, I tried to to a plant out of a pot so I let the soil dry out a little and grabbed it by the stem to yank it out. Big mistake! I ended up with the top half in my hand and the rest still in the pot; I don’t think there’s an emoticon for how shocked I was when that happened.
