For future reference...

Just thinking about the plants I'd like to grow in the future, and thought I might make a list that I can add to as I come across specific varieties. Get it out of my head, and on to paper, so to speak. This will just be a wish list of our favourites for now, what is most practical might be a different story all together. Once we get established we might seek to be a bit more adventurous and try incorporating some new tastes into our kitchen garden.

Maybe it would be a good idea to start by breaking things up into groups too so I can have a crack at some sort of crop rotation for those that need it... *scurries off to find books of reference*

Theres a particular indoor plant I'd like who's name escapes me at the moment (living by a highway I am always concerned about air quality, and having some indoor plants would help to ease that for me)

Obviously a lot of these will have to wait a long time until we have our own place, but it doesn't hurt to plan it now :)
