I really like having them to look at during the winter since they are right outside the kitchen and eating area. <br />I always do a little something on the front porch in pots that held geraniums. More heucheras out there this year.

I don't bring many of them in, but the Walking Iris, Lemon tree, potted succulents, English Ivy, and Cyclamen will spend the winter in the sunroom. Several pots with spring-flowering bulbs will winter in the garage. That sculptured pot is nifty!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-60797866810555374222015-09-29T16:19:00.011-07:002015-09-29T16:19:00.011-07:00I usually leave all that til October...oh wait!

Unfortunately in our climate there's not much you can do to make empty pots pretty after removing their tender occupants, which means there's no incentive to move things early. Hooray for last-minute plant scrambles!

I realized I also need some more metal racks, so I'll be ordering those from Amazon soon. I'm wondering if a really dark Heuchera like Obsidian might look great with that orange Carex. I've never done pots over the winter outside. Hmmm...something to think about.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-84262826909857944612015-09-29T06:18:31.816-07:002015-09-29T06:18:31.816-07:00I welcome the changing season and wonder when to b...I welcome the changing season and wonder when to bring in my tubular begonias into the garage. No surprise, I love orange Carex and happy for its volunteers. Sometimes they look a bit shabby after the winter, and it's nice to have a few fresh starts, just in case. Libertia ixioides 'Tricolor' is very pretty and new to me. It goes on my wish list right away.chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.com
