What to do in the Minnesota cold

Relative to gardening, February in Minnesota is all about being indoors. Outside is too depressing, the snow is dirty, there is sand and salt all over the place and we still have Christmas decorations we couldn't pull out of the ground. Does give one something to look at out the window, however. I tend to leave lots of things that have seed heads still standing in the fall, but I am sick of looking at them now too. Some people will probably start tomatoes and pepper plants in pots, but I'm more of a perennial gardener, and I do not start seeds for those. So, I've been keeping busy by propagating my house plants. I cut up a philodendron into 15 new plants that are busy rooting in water. I trimmed a jade tree and now have seven new little jade tree plants in a window. Next I will cut back my wild Christmas cactus as it is taking over the living room. Now, I get that this isn't real gardening and I'm just fooling myself into thinking that I am practicing for the big show (to me gardening is as important as the baseball season opener), but I like to play in the dirt and this is working for now. I think that for next year, I will have to buy some more house plants.
