Hooking Up With Bloomin Tuesday!
******************
I have 6 hanging baskets of geraniums that I overwinter. In the fall I cut them off to about 3 inches and put them in the windows on the south side down stairs. We are pretty far north so they get about 6 hours of basement sunlight a day. I water them about every 10 days. It is time to put them outside again - here is one of the pots - doesn't it look great! I give them fertilizer and then put them in the shade for about a week to reaclimate them to the outdoors. Once that happens they will flourish all summer. Every year they get bigger and bigger - they are so easy to care for and it saves a bunch of money too!
This next picture is one of the smaller geraniums in pots. They are in a shade flower bed and will stay there for the week to help them with the transition from basement to outdoors. They were also cut off to about 3 inches . There are about 9 pots in this group. Here they are:
Today I am thankful for the weather warming up a bit! YIPPEE!!!
Thanks for visiting!
