Good morning. Wow, your geraniums grow in the cellar while you are gone? nully's cellar? How are they watered? They are amazing plants - I don't know where they came from. The last couple of years, I have learned they do well in open, exposed heat/sun. They don't even have to be watered every day in the pots I have -even when it's in the 100s! I can't get over that.

We are the lucky ones with the Shark pics. Well, at least the Snake finally got lucky :) Heh heh heh.

BQ, we take them out of the pots in the fall, shake some dirt off them and put them in a big paper bag each. They will keep all winter and then start coming back to life in the spring with new shoots in the old parts.

Some of the biggest Geraniums you buy at the nursery are second or even many year plants.

My Dad always hung theirs from the rafters in the cellar. He always saved his. If yours don't stay out all year, try it. I suppose most places down there don't have cellars tho..;)
