| What, no Octoberfest? |
Inspired by self-proclaimed Farmgirl,
Mary Jane Butters, this year I am saving my impatiens from a frosty death and plan to re-plant them next spring. Since I apparently missed the Farmgirl directive to stock up on Mason jars, I've resorted to using our pilsner glasses, much to my poor husband's chagrin. This will soon be rectified, I can assure you! Since I usually purchase at least a flat or so of impatiens annually, this should provide some color throughout the winter and also save some money come spring. I also plan to try this with begonias.

The other plants to come inside for winter include some dracena, shamrock, aloe, a spider plant or two and a rubber plant with which I cannot bear to part. These offer some comfort during the cold winter when it's easy to forget that things are still growing underneath, where we cannot see them.
