I have no houseplants because the cats would eat them all. We do have a vegetable garden. I also plant a lot of flowers, some annuals but I've tried to buy mostly perennials. The local garden club does a plant sale and it's been a great way to add variety. My plan was to keep the landscaping simple so it would be easier to maintain but every year it has gotten more over the top so I've given up on that idea. This year I added 20 trees, mostly fruit trees so hopefully they do well.
