Inside


I've said it a million times--I love fall.  Right now, I'm enjoying the turning leaves and sweaters I haven't worn in months.  The general autumny-ness of the moment is awesome. 

There's this thing about fall, though.  Winter always follows. 

Ugh.

So, to bring a little life inside to what I know is going to be a spring-starved house, I bring my geraniums inside.  Did you know you could overwinter them?   


I don't do anything fancy.  If you're the fancy type, click on that link and see what Martha recommends.  I just bring them inside in early October, re-pot them, and put the pot in a sunny window. 

And to all you Southerners and Californians who think winter is 60 degrees...you lucky ducks don't know how good you have it!

  3. If I grew Geraniums they would be frozen by now. We've had several below freezing nights already. Snow is often here for Halloween. Six months of cold winter... I don't think Geraniums will cut it... I need a holiday to the Caribbean. : )

  6. I'm enjoying the onset of autumn too! Have you had any of the scented geraniums as house plants? They smell lovely and are just as pretty as the non-scented varieties! :)
