Wintering Over Plants

Jack asked me today about taking in the geraniums to winter over. I’m running out of room in the little morning room or Florida room . I don’t want anymore plants on the windowsills either. I’m also nervous about bringing miscellaneous bugs, like black widow spiders, in on the plants. There are so many of them out here – on the lights by the garage, running across the lawn. I’m never wearing sandals outside, I’ll say that for sure! Yet I do want to winter over those geraniums. I suggested the lights in the basement, the plant lightstand that John made for me. I also asked John about helping me make a plant table. I hope that will be easy. I think it will be. We’ll use leftover tile from the house and scrap lumber. Yet another winter project for the gardener.
