I do, and will have to figure out where to put them.do you bring yours in only during freezes or do you keep them in all winter?

I know what you mean, I half to figure out what I will do with my flowers, they are so pretty and I don't know how I am going to keep them in the house, No room, I thought I would put them in the basement, they say you can cover them up with blanket outside, but I wouldn't do that. I have so many flowers that I planted and some I bought, I am not worried about the ones that have seeds, because I can save the seeds. and plant them next year. the Gerainiums I can store in a brown paper bag and store them in a cool place. the ones that well come back next year, I don't worry about those. So what will you do? O take al the seeds and put them in some envelopes, or some kind of container.

Thank you for Best Response, You never told me what you will do with your flowers? I am curious.

There was a time when I would bring in my favorite coleus plants. Space is limited in my house and the lack of sunlight would mean that even if they were brought indoors they would most likely die. So, I leave them out.

I don't have that problem because it very rarely freezes here. I have the opposite problem. If it gets extremely hot I have difficulty keeping my plants watered. Especially now that we have water restrictions.

I have a geranium that I've been bringing inside for the last 4 years! I just can't seem to part with it. It's in a nice pot, and looks nice in the kitchen. It's nice to see blooms all year. I think the first year, I kept it in the basement, but kept watering it. It lived til spring, and came to life again.

We have several plants that we bring in from our porch and deck. It is hard to find spots for them in the house as we have a lot of house plants already! I just can't stand to see them stay out and die. Hubby and I both love plants and have probably way to many!
