THE RED GERANIUM

As long as I can remember,
I have loved the
geranium.

Is there anything more welcoming
than a big pot of
red geraniums?

No flower makes a bolder statement.

Who can resist a smile when they see a row
of red geraniums?

There is just something about
this old fashion flower.

It makes any space brighter.

Did you know you can save your geraniums over the winter
by taking them in before the last frost?
Just pull all their remaining blooms and leaves off,
put them in a cardboard box or brown grocery bag
and store in your basement until Spring.

Plant them in good potting soil and
water them well.
They will soon be back to be admired again.

Here are some I saved last year.
I replanted these around Easter.

This week they were ready to go into
a bigger decorative pot.

This is how they looked after three weeks
out of the dark basement.

This is how they will look by the middle of June.
I can't wait.

Happy Gardening!
