Continuing the clean up around my father’s home. It’s a slow slog but we are making progress.
I dug up and brought in all my geraniums and the mandevilla plant and a rozalea in early October - I just didn’t want to lose them to the cold (at $5-7 a plant, I’m too cheap to just let them go). At first every plant shed almost all of its leaves, but now my geraniums have made the adjustment and are flowering again. The mandevilla is putting forth new shoots. The rozalea has some buds. It’s looking pretty spring-y in the house.
I love bringing in and overwintering flowering plants. They are expensive, so it’s worth the effort, and they are so nice to have when it’s grey and stormy. :)
Nice. I’m thinking that next year, I may try forcing some bulbs for Christmas decorations. Something with a nice fragrance.
