What Can You Do To Brighten Up Your Conservatory?
If you are lucky enough to a have a delightful conservatory to enjoy as an addition to your living room or kitchen, or as a whole extra room, you may be interested to hear about what you can do to brighten it up. Adding plants to a conservatory is like adding cream to your coffee, or adding tinsel to a Christmas tree if you like; it just finishes it off perfectly.
So what is there that you can grow in there? Obviously you will be limited by the size and space available given that you probably have furniture and other stuff in there already but when it comes to plants, you don’t really need that much room.
Here are some great ideas for what you can grow:
Fruit Trees
Thanks to the amount of a light that a well-positioned conservatory draws in, plants of all shapes and sizes tend to do rather well. One of the most exciting things to grow is fruit trees. Or rather mini fruit trees, unless you have a huge glass house. Lemon trees, fig trees, chilli plants and even orange trees can all be grown in normal conservatories with the right amount of care and attention. You will be rewarded for your efforts with a wonderful aroma that circulates around your home as you fruits ripen. You just need either a baby version of your tree or a few seeds and a reasonable sized pot. Follow the instructions on how to look after them as best you can and after a few months you may just start to see some new fruit and you can start planning your first home grow chilli or fruit salad.
Herbs
To accent your new fruit (and even vegetable) collection you can also add to your conservatory a range of fresh herbs or greenhouse seeds. Things like basil and parsley can cost us a packet as we fork out more and more at the supermarket tills which means that we are less and less likely to include them in our cookery even though they would make all the difference. They also look really rather nice as they grow and again add to the great smells you have been brewing. Cannabis seeds can also be grown into sweet smelling plants but unfortunately they are not legal to grow in the UK.
Marijuana seeds can be grown into plants legally in California if it is for medicinal use and it is tolerated to some extent in the Netherlands.
Sam Qam is a keen conservatory gardener and keeps a variety of greenhouse seeds. He has been collecting cannabis seeds for many years in the hope that he can one day legally grow them at home.
