I did so this year because I spent a small fortune on pots and annuals and I wanted to give them a bit longer lifespan.<br /><br />Always so good to hear from you, Becky. I so appreciate you taking the time to visit when I know how busy you are right now. :-) xxooAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8182526293543000889.post-86563807764049531442012-10-05T17:33:20.474-07:002012-10-05T17:33:20.474-07:00and what a lovely spot. your garden is beautiful,...and what a lovely spot. your garden is beautiful, especially August and Sept. one word of advice about bringing the plants indoors - check regularly for spider mites. Impatiens are the worst. I cut stems from my coleus, leaving them very long, and put them in a large, clear glass vase. they last all winter long. Happy Friday to you Gina.

Nature growth can probably be explained, with details, by botanists. For me, it always keeps an aura of poetic mystery....Nature's promise of enchanting renewal each spring's season.<br /><br />Hope some of your potted plants and flowers remain alive this winter. Please, let me know. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your land.Claudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775039539331403794noreply@blogger.com
