Right, I thought maybe some people would like to see my apartment, so I took a video. But YouTube is friggin’ stupid, and put it upside down. So um, enjoy the vertigo.

Gardening Sunday: Meet the Plants
2009-10-04 Spider Plant
I live in a small apartment. It’s not a big place by any means, but it’s big enough for me. The problem is, it’s a wee bit sterile. I can’t hang anything, because I can’t put any holes in the wall, and the horrible textured wallpaper that Japan loves so much makes BluTak a reckless proposition. So what could I do to bring some life and character into the apartment?
Houseplants.
I decided that I’d also try to chronicle my houseplant experience here, so that what I learn can be a resource for other people hoping to keep plants in their tiny apartment. Also, while there are a lot of apartment gardening resources for America in English, and they have useful, universally applicable information, for some expats, an English resource for gardening in Japan would be helpful. “What’s this plant called?” “I need this, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it’s called, or a brand name to reference, in Japan! HELP!”
So yeah, welcome to Gardening Sunday. This week: Meet the Plants.
