Who has plants, herbs, or flowers in their home?
Can anyone recommend some easy to care for plants that don't mind central heating and won't die if I go away for a week?
Anyone grow their own herbs?

As for herbs, we have a pot in the garden and grow basic things like chives, basil, coriander, that kind of thing. I'd definitely reccomend it as you don't have to do a lot and its so handy. Tastes so much better than the crap you can buy in the supermarkets, and is lovely to put on salads in the summer
outside or inside?
my supposedly all year round herbs died a death
Sounds like some kind of succulent. They are pretty hard to kill.
At the moment I only have three aloe veras of which two were here when we moved in, and even though the house had been empty for months, they were still alive, just a bit yellow. Theyre thriving again now though and back to bright green. Added bonus is that you can break a bit off if every you have any sore bits or spots and use the gel.
That makes me feel better. I felt like death when I killed mine.
Bamboo is really easy too, I've only killed a copule of the stalks I've got.
And I planted some flowers last year, forgot I even had them, but they lasted all summer, was quite an ego boost. A marigold maybe? They were orange.
