Re: geraniums


Rebeccas Garden web site had a section last week on wintering geraniums. 
(and she looks like she's done this before...) Remove from ground and  lay
in box/bushel til durt dries.  Shake off, cut back the foliage a bit, and
store in brown paper bags over the winter (their dormancy period.  If they
look really dry, spray a bit of water.  They will come back to life next
spring, and plant away.

Or check her web site rebeccasgarden.com
