Ah, well that's probably it. Plants need to be given a good spot compared to what they need.

What are cyclamen plants? -no clue whatsoever-

[Quiet Man Cometh]

They are tubules, like Irises. They basicaly grow from little potato looking things that sit a little way into the soil. The are neat lookign because their flower petals grow up, rather than out.

In the wild they grow in the mountains around Israel and such. They like cold, but the florists kind can't handle frost well. They bloom over autum and winter instead of summer and die back when it gets hot. Apparently if kept in good conditions, they can continuously bloom but I wouldn't know about that yet. Their leaves are two toned green, and there is a king that's ruffled, which looks a little odd to me. They are essentially houseplants.

[Yokuutsu]

So...are they just plants that look pretty? Or do they have other uses?

Not that pretty can't be a use...

[Fauxreal]

Plants?! My sister just planted a bunch! Mostly veggies.

[Yokuutsu]

Mine are all veggies...except for the tomatoes XD

[Quiet Man Cometh]

They just look pretty, but I like things that look pretty. And it gives me something to mind during the day, or week, as the needs are. The basement suite we're in is in dire need or re-organising so it's a little bleak and crowded looking right now. I like my flowers. :). My mom has her cacti, that are stubbournly hanging in there until we can get a sun lamp set up.

When I have a space of my own I imagine I'll try for a veggie garden, and some fruit.

[Yokuutsu]

I have fish. AND FOOD PLANTS! But they're outside. The fish are in here with me.

I think next year though...I'm just going to buy GIGANTIC pots for tomato plants and go from there.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I had a dog but he's gone now. Had to say goodbye last year. I like having something around. The snag with food plants on occasion is that I know a few dogs who will gladly eat them.

[Yokuutsu]

Aw. I'm sorry D:

I want a dog .-.

Eh, animals have left mine alone so far it seems...

[katyasha]

I have a black kitty and she is a hand for when she bouncing around but in all she kept me from going bonkers myself.

[Yokuutsu]

I used to feed a black stray cat a lot, but I never see him anymore. I hope he didn't get run over or anything .-.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I think the animals first have to discover that they can eat the plants. My brother's dog digs up carrots, and my sister's old dog used to jump and grab things off trees and eat berries off the bushes. It made for a small raspberry crop one year.

[katyasha]

I do something feed stays that come by the house but their food gets stolen by the raccoon that is living under the shed now.

[Yokuutsu]

Well, still, no animals are nomming on my food things yet.

I don't see many strays. They took all the strays next door almost...and we think they took my cat as well. This was years ago .-.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I used to worry about someone stealing my dog, since he was small and quiet. Sweet boy, even if he looked pepetually indifferent to everything.

[Yokuutsu]

Seems like a good dog to me :3

Indifferent is much better than pissed off/afraid.
