We have a beautiful garden right now and we are experiencing a longer summer at the west coast, Vancouver, BC.
The garden is still full of flowers and it is a pitty to weed them out.
At night the first frost came in last night so I can see the writing on the wall right now.
Begonias. tubulars (cut the tops of and dry tehm out and put them in a paper bag? in a cool place?)
What is the best way to overwinter geraniums??
I've boganvillas (purple and red)
The boganvillas I bring in, the flowers wilter and also the leafs and I remove all the leafs and put the plant in a south side window, how do you bring the plant back out in the spring? the new leafs always get burned and becomes silvery and fall off, I've have to get the second leafs before the plant start blooming that is around late July.
Lantana, bush (pink and white) and a tree (multi color.)
I bring it in with the Boganvillas. take all leafs off. cut back to 1/3.
Same problem when I bring the Lantana's out in the spring. the leafs get burned and it looks like it will die and then new leafs comes up and new flowers, how can I let these flowers inside the house. like a green house.
I know I ask alot.
Thanks
