I suppose the trick is to prune them back and fertilize them in the spring. Maybe I should try it again. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-56295971009510437102011-05-26T05:48:25.596-07:002011-05-26T05:48:25.596-07:00I just came over from Country Diary of a Southern ...I just came over from Country Diary of a Southern Lady, and am so glad that I did! Wow! All of these photos from Germany makes me want to go back again. When we were there three years ago in the fall to visit family the flowers were still gorgeous. What part of Germany did you visit? I loved all of the flower shops too....great ideas! And geraniums...love them!

I have tried to overwinter geraniums several different ways with little luck. My Grandmother always had red geraniums in her classroom. I've tried to grow them indoors and they hate me.

I lived in Europe for 1 1/2 years and this is where I grew to love flowers--they have so many amazing gardens, window containers, street containers...it's all so breathtaking! I vowed to one day have a garden of my own. My own garden is small, but it is well tended.
