A bout now i usually Start heating my Gums about gathering up plants that Are Good candidates for drying. If you ainu to got no time or inclination to a gather and dry you can buy pre dried plants or arrangements at several of the Craft f airs at this time of year. Even better try an open air Market like the one at St. Norbert on saturdays you la have a Ball however much As i like dried arrangements nothing beats having live plants in the Home. So Why not bring in some plants from your summer Flower bed and try to Winter them Over this year. You la hard put to keep the Sun Loving varieties for very Long but the Shade plants Don t expect or like too much Sun and Are much better candidates for this adventure. I have a modest Green House which makes it easier for me to bring plants in but in heard from people with Only a Well lit West or South window that pc had some Success keeping Shade plants Over most of the Winter. While these plants grow without too much care outdoors they need tic indoors and at times while i like to blame it on negligent progeny. In a just too a Rcv Brick s k bushed to do even the simple tasks required. Good plants to Start with Are impatiens. These Little effervescent beauties try to give you a Good show no matter what time of year hut beware the far Eastern variety. This stunning Beauty done to give you no Slack no How miss watering once too often and the Plant just shuts Dow n and Dies. Another great Beauty i had moderate Success with is Fuschia. But wary. In rarely had Fuschia without whitefly a nagging Plant pest. But i have a a a worser Plant pest.
