The other day in my scrolling through steemit's homesteading and gardening posts, I came across one from @papa-pepper that really drew my attention. It was all about how he had started some of his 2019, garden (whether through cuttings or seedlings), and it got me thinking about my indoor garden in the homesteading and grow room.

So I decided to share an update about it; as it's been quite some time since I have.

In this large grow tent (48x48x72) and here are some of my catnip plants; which have already flowered. I'm not too worried about the early flowering; as I LOVE these little delicate flowers.

The Citronella plant I received last year from someone that was almost on its death. I kept it in a portable planter so I could move indoors over the winter and since it's been in this grow tent; helping to keep gnats away from my cannabis plants, it has grown leaps and bounds.

I will probably propagate it as springtime gets closer and perhaps give some of the new cuttings (potted and ready to go) to my daughters to have on their decks over the summer months to help keep some mosquitoes away.

Also inside this large grow tent (aside from the cannabis clones and seedlings that I grow year-round) I also have:

• Milk Thistle
• Marsh Mallow
• Tarragon
• Thyme (which I grew from a sprig)
• Chamomile
• 2 Aloe Vera plants from 2018 garden
• Citronella (pictured above)
• Lemon Grass
• Basil

I will be adding more as spring approaches. Plants, flowers and herbs like more calendula, parsley, all my greens (arugula, spinach, little gems lettuce) and more. I'm glad I purchased such a large grow tent to be able to accommodate all these seedlings in my future.

Here is @papa-pepper's original post.
