 | | At my house this urge takes many forms: Tubs of spring bulbs are prepared for forcing, culinary herbs are dug up from the kitchen garden and potted for wintertime use, and, most important, tropical and semitropical plants return to the greenhouse from their summer resting places outdoors. |
 | | Each year, what seems to be an ever-increasing number of specimens make the seasonal trip indoors from the terrace, a journey played out to the accompaniment of my grunts, groans, and sighs, as I manhandle dozens of gargantuan soil-packed pots. |
 | | The results are more than worth the effort, for few winter pleasures equal the sensation of returning home from the frigid, frost-rimed garden and entering a haven filled with leaf, blossom, and fragrance in an abundance generally reserved for June. |
