My fiance may have a problem. We don't have the property for growing veggies or anything. But she's become enamored with house plants. There's like 57 individual pots of plants of various sizes spread amongst the rooms of our apartment.

Debatablely, its too many.

But now she's taken to snagging trimming from around the neighborhood.

And recently my next door neighbor and property manager had a fiddly fig with a $75 price tag inexplicably outside their door. In the cold and rain.

So she "rescued" it.

Now there's fungus and gnats everywhere.

I dunno where this drunken rambling I'd going anymore so I guess let this be a warning that it's a slippery slope of growing things.

Is this the only thing that she does that's annoying? I'd save up and buy a 500+ square foot plastic greenhouse and move all those plants into it. My wife did this to me 20 some years ago, after she learned that maintaining it in the winter is a bitch. We've moved to a smaller home. She still has plants in our house, but only about 5 now, and a garden with plenty of fresh veggies in season.

We live in a townhouse with a tiny patio, so not really an option at this point.
