Hello everyone, how are you holding up?<\/p>\n

As many of you that follow my social media will know, I have always travelled often, either for work engagements or leisure. Recently, my wings have been clipped, for obvious reasons. However, I\u2019ve been putting lots of energy into growing plants in the apartment I was staying in, and this month I\u2019ll share a few tips!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Rather than feel curtailed by not having any outdoor space, I actually made the most of any flat surfaces by growing plants. Heck, I even hung some up too! Plus, I was happy to push the boundaries, and during the live shows you\u2019ll see that I\u2019ve been experimenting with patio plants such as the Osteospermum, some Fuchsias, and even a Bleeding Heart plant!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I even started playing around with some of our QVC solar lights on the windowsill, and I\u2019m pleased to report that they work fantastically well. They started glowing from about 8pm, even before it was dark, and gave an ethereal glow to the windowsill through the night, illuminating my prized houseplants!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

I\u2019ve even been growing some herbs on the windowsill, in soil and pots. This means that I\u2019ve always got a healthy supply of fresh spice for my salads and such.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

But, the best news of all is, I\u2019ll be moving back to a house with a garden very soon! Plus, I\u2019m going to start giving it the king of all makeovers! My head is full of lots of ideas, I can barely sleep at night! It\u2018ll also be a nice playground for new QVC plants, and innovative accessories.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

So, in order to exercise my gardening limbs, I actually threw down the gauntlet this month. I\u2019ve asked a few of the QVC presenters to pose their gardening queries to me by video, and I\u2019ve replied by video too! This means that you also get to see the answer!<\/p>\n

You can watch this video below! But that\u2019s not all, I am opening this opportunity up to everyone! You can film your video question, and I will reply in a future series. Please send your video to michael@mrplantgeek.com<\/a>, ideally filmed in portrait format, and no longer than one minute.<\/p>\n
