      Same. In Granada, Spain they paint the pots blue every year and hang them on their balconies and walls with geraniums. In the heat of the summer sun the flowers and blue pots have a pleasing effect on the eyes. The walls are painted white and everything just pops.

    Red geraniums came from South Africa in the 17th century & can be found in many paintings cheerfully growing on window sills & balconies. So beloved, the Swiss count it as the national flower. A geranium in a clay pot is a classic & goes perfectly with the Victorian sensibility of your Hartley, fun to reflect on generations before you which held the same flower in the same pot in high esteem.

      I notice geraniums in pictures from Europe, lots in Italy....on steps, in window boxes, pots (yep, mainly clay pots).
      I love them. They do so well in my zone 8, and most everyone puts them in pots. I have a bright pink with a tinge of white to the center. They're not messy to me, as someone stated they could be. I just pop off the spent blooms at the base of the long stem, and remove the few yellowed leaves.
      My mother loved her red geraniums...her favorite variety was called "Patriot red". She passed on the love to me.

    Hello Garden Answer friends! I am late catching up on videos. Since I don't work from home, when I would watch every a.m. at 7, I am driving now to the office 😢Talking geraniums, I grew up with my Grandmother always having an abundance of geraniums all year inside, outside they were everywhere. As an adult, oddly it was not a plant I never gravitated to, not sure as to why. Fast forward to last 5 years, my sister has bought a fresh flower hanging basket & planter of the red, white & 'blue' (purple) for my parents cemetery plot since my father served in the Army & my mother loved flowers. In the flower arrangement has been the most stunning of red geraniums, they get massive beautiful blooms and replenish seemingly overnight. In my opinion Deadheading geraniums takes no effort & now I know exactly why my Grandmother loved them. I Love the shelf from Benjamin, you have placed in the Hartley as a riser..so sweet to make something for you. No matter their age, then or now, our kids do notice when they have created something for us, we have displayed. I have used glue on so many things..haha. Anyhow, the boxwood trim, really does button them up, but I thought they also looked nice a bit fluffy. Thanks for sharing! Loving all if your landscape & gardens

      Garden Answer
      Dec 2, 2021
      This is Douglas. Just like Cheddar, he showed up one day early this spring (curled up on the chaise lounge in the front sun porch to be exact) and just kind of stuck around. I honestly don't know if he belongs to someone else- he is very sweet and looks good- but he certainly spends the bulk of his time here (much to the dislike of Russell & Cheddar). Anyway, I thought I would make the introduction since he has made himself more and more of a presence. So, apparently we have 3 cats now...

    I've always liked red geraniums because of their vibrancy. Yes, they can be messy, but sometimes you just have to take the good with the bad. And boxwood, they add so much structure and privacy to my garden. I planted them nearly 24 years ago as tiny plants. Now they are quite large and beautiful. Thanks for sharing your garden Laura, you give me lots of inspiration.

In early spring I repotted into a larger pot with fresh espoma soil and land and sea compost. After two months outside it has grown to about 30 inches around and has 40 large bloom heads. I have never grown anything this beautiful in my 60 plus years. I also tried growing impatiens from seeds I kept from last years plants and grew about 36 plants all blooming and growing like crazy.

    Douglas is such a handsome cat! So fluffy and soft looking. Is he yours, or a neighbor’s cat that has decided to adopt you? Lol.
    He probably just needs someone to play with him. You could carry a thick string around with you in your pocket, and when he gets swipe-y, you could pull it out and redirect the behavior to play that isn’t your feet or hands.
