We missed the predicted frost after killing ourselves covering and taking in ALL the tender plants. No room to eat in the kitchen until I cut back 30+ pelargoniums, repot the houseplant candidates and hang the others in the basement. BTW, I've never taken the pelargoniums out of the soil before but they are too big now for all to stay in pots. Is this hanging method the best way or has anyone another solution? Hate to lose any of them. They are all different. Cheryl Schaefer, Schaefer Yarns Beautiful hand painted fibers schaefer@epix.net Zone 5 in the fabulous Finger Lakes of NY
