| My thermometer is reporting -2C and there is frost on the lawn. I got my geraniums and four 0'clocks into the greenhouse which is showing 1C. I forgot about my amaryllis; most are buried, but one is leafing out.
Last year I left the geraniums until after the frost -- I just remembered my three foot high geranium is still outside :( -- and I lost most of the pinks and whites. |

| Hey it was -5 at my place this morning. Everything is crisp and I hope that includes the bugs etc. |

| ljpother, glad you had mentioned geraniums, I had gotten a real nice balcony type that I had planted directly in the ground and indeed forgot to dig and bring it in .... it's still looking okay and I'll get to it today :) Terry |

| My big geranium is fine, now I have to remember to bring it in. It's at least three years old and I'm going to have to trim it. However, it's hard to single out a branch for sacrifice; maybe I'll decide when I need cuttings for new starts. :) I think I found most of my amaryllis bulbs. I had them in leaves over a newspaper mulch and they really didn't develop roots this year. These usually bloom shortly after I bring them in and pot them up. A half dozen amaryllis blooming in the same pot is really nice. The green tomatoes didn't mind the frost; but, the cherries and ripe tomatoes are kind of sticky. |
