Through a Porch Door Screen
This is Bob, short for Bobtail, as he does not have a tail. The least feral of feral cats. Steve takes such good care of him. He found a spot of sun and enjoyed the new Kalenchoe centerpiece on my porch table.
My Friend’s Geraniums are Magical
These glorious geraniums on my friend’s porch are coming to the end of their blossoming season. But they’ll return next summer! We visited on her from porch this morning and captured these blooms, so amazing.
The very same plants. I’m not kidding.
How does she do it?
Here’s her method. Works for 5-7 seasons.
Get a large brown paper lawn bag, NOT plastic.
Take the geraniums out of the window boxes and knock off (gently) all the dirt that clings to the roots.
Place into the large paper leaf and lawn bag.
Carry to the basement. ( here in Pittsburgh we have basements, not sure what to advise other regions)
And my friend wrote the directions I omitted -! “To continue those directions: next year, on May 1st, take the geraniums out of the bag. they will look very dead, leaves and flowers dry and brown. Cut the stems way back to where it looks green. Replant and water with Miracle gro. It will take a good month or more and all the sudden, you will see tiny leaves appear. Then, they grow on from there. A sure sign of hope and new life”. TW
Sure Sign of Fall
After leaving my friend’s porch, I went to get into my car and saw the first golden maple leaf on my windshield.
