{HISTORY}

In 1975, you didn't have to live in a house with a big yard for a big garden in order to enjoy the rewarding benefits of playing around in the dirt. Indoor gardening was on the rise in the 1970's thanks to a keen awareness that greenspace was slowly vanishing as urbanization was quickly taking over the landscape. But as award-winning teacher, lecturer and author, Russell Mott, is first to tell you in this gorgeous book, trees and flowers are an integral part of the human spirit dating all the way back to the beginning of mankind. Our thirst and lust and attraction for nature never needs to be squashed or cast aside or undermined on account of where we live or how we live. When no natural outdoor greenspace is available, you can turn your living area into an indoor garden that is just as fulfilling and exotic and captivating as any outdoor patch, thanks to the diverse beauty of house plants.   

An artistic collaboration between a revered Cornell University horticulturist and seven of the 1970s most talented nature artists, the Total Book of House Plants includes over 350 different types of flowers, plants, ferns, fruits, bulbs and cacti that can be grown successfully indoors with proper care and attention. 

Enhanced with vibrant watercolor illustrations on each page depicting every plant, this book is an absolute gem for anyone who does not have immediate access to an outdoor garden but carries a passionate desire to grow things. Here in the Vintage Kitchen, we love it so much because it has a big chapter on fruit-bearing plants that expertly describes how to grow pineapples, oranges, pomegranates, lemons, avocados, coffee, fig and banana trees - a veritable fruitopia - all inside!

Each entry contains fun-fact type background information along with details on planting, potting, room temperature, pests, light, moisture, propagation and pruning. And because Richard wanted readers to be totally successful in their planting endeavors he often includes a bonus remarks section for any particular helpful hints, tips or techniques that will keep your specimen looking healthy and happy year-round.

All aspects of the planting process are discussed here from containers to soil, equipment to space size. Familiar varieties of house plants mingle inbetween more alluring and exotic plants with wonderful names like Fishtail Ferns, Magic Flowers, Maidenhair, Umbrella Trees, Mind-Your-Own Business and Kangaroo Vines.

I will keep buying these
Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange, Size: 3 Big Kid, Color: Black Orange
This is the third time I have purchased these shoes. Every time my son grows out of them I buy the next size up. His favorite color is orange, so he loves the look of these. They are also soft mesh around the toes, which he loves so he can wiggle his toes. These are durable and well made. The pair i purchased before these is still wearable, just too small for him now. These are his daily shoes. The price has gone up since my first purchase, but they still are not unreasonable for how long they last. He is an active boy. He climbs trees, runs, and plays hard. So for any show to last 6 months when he wears them daily it shows the durability. It also shows that these shoes have tread on them thay stops him from slipping. He is able to move around freely and never has issues with grip. He puts them on without difficulty.

Comfortable, Durable, and Perfect for Active Kids
I recently purchased the Under Armour Kids' Grade School Assert 10 Sneakers for my child, and they are excellent! These sneakers are lightweight yet supportive, making them perfect for everyday wear, sports, and outdoor activities. The breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool, while the cushioned midsole provides comfort and shock absorption during running or play. The sneakers also have a durable rubber outsole that provides excellent traction, reducing the risk of slips during active play. The sleek design and modern style appeal to kids, and the shoes fit true to size, making them easy to wear for extended periods. Overall, the Assert 10 combines comfort, durability, and style, making it a reliable choice for active kids. They hold up well after repeated wear and are easy to clean, making them a great value for parents. Pros: Lightweight, breathable mesh upper Cushioned midsole for comfort and shock absorption Durable rubber outsole with good traction Sleek and modern design appealing to kids True-to-size fit and easy to clean Cons: Minimal color options in some sizes Laces may require supervision for younger children Overall: The Under Armour Kids' Grade School Assert 10 Sneakers are comfortable, durable, and stylish, perfect for active kids who need reliable everyday footwear. Highly recommended!
