Hahahaha, I love that. I have a bunch of houseplants, too. The balcony garden is smaller this year than past years, but I am trying for trees more than veggies.
I used to work at a Home Depot, and the gardening dept manager knew I was The Plant Rescuer. She'd come to me with every sad plant they couldn't sell and give it to me for half off. I rehabbed almost all of them. Though, two were killed when my cat thought they made an excellent litterbox. :,( That is why I have a dragon tree with a bunch of knicknacks and happy meal toys blocking the dirt in it - so it's not nice to pee in. 😂
