Bringing plants indoors in fall
When the school bells toll, it is often the true beginning of the fall season. For me this means that the winter season is coming and my tropical sanctuary in my backyard is done for another year.

It is disappointing as the plants we subject to indoor living in our homes are really not very happy - even if they are catered to with grow lights and elevated humidity. Alas, it is one more example of falling short when we are trying to measure up to Mother Nature.
So if you are like me - during the summer months my home is airy and empty but during the winter months when we are all inside, my home is filled with an amazing array of plants. Kind of a crazy backwards situation but I guess it is the reality of living in Canada on the prairies. So how do I safely bring in my plants and not the vast array of little creatures that also are living outside? Well, it takes some work and a variety of chores.
