Printed With SOY INK How to winter over your tender plants By JEANNE REHWALDT The calendar tells us that fall has arrived and our Northwest weather must have a calendar because fall is here. It seems like we went from warm summer evenings to cold, hard rain. It makes us think of pumpkins on the vine, apple cider and over win- tering our fuchsias and geraniums. It is also time to divide spring blooming perennials for more plants next year, or to donate to the Master Garden- ers to divide and tend for the annual plant sale in May. If you have plants that need dividing, but don't have space for them, consider calling the MGs to pick them up and divide them instead. Some of our most successful plant sales included unique varieties from gardeners' yards. How do I winter over my fuchsias? After your fuchsias have experienced a light frost or two, (usually mid-Octo- ber in Mason County) they should be pruned back hard, about to the edge of their containers, leaving 6 to 8 inches of branch. Upright growing stems can be cut back to about 6 inches. Store them in a dark place where they won't freeze, but where they can be kept cool and in a state of dor- mancy (not growing). During storage, be certain they don't dry out. Check every two or three weeks and water a necessary. Probably more fuchsias ar lost over the winter due to drought than to freezing. A sheltered location. such as an unheated garage, works quite well. Some gardeners bury fuchsias afte cutting them back, setting them in trenches and then filling in the trend with earth or mulching material. Wi ter rainfall keeps them from drying out. In early February, bring fuch- sias into light and trim off any dead branches. Water them and fertilize lightly. Keep them inside shelter unt all danger of freezing is over and the plants can be set outside in early Ma I have several baskets of hanging geraniums. Can they be wintered over? Geraniums, like fuchsias, can be wintered over successfully so long as they are protected from freezing. A cool location is probably best where frost can't get to them, but where they can be kept more or less dor- mant. They don't need to be watered much during the winter, but check to be sure they aren't drying out com- pletely. Geraniums are sometimes kept indoors in warmer, brightly lit con- ditions where they remain actively growing and are essentially treated a Harstine Continued from page B-1 brings in apples from a com- mercial source. It's a great event for fami- lies in that there are tasks for everyone from the very young to the very adult. A rain-or-shine event, it is always full of action, noise and camaraderie, the smell of fresh apple juice every- where and the sound of old time music drifting out from inside the hall. There is mu- sic, a full apple-based menu in the kitchen, demonstra- tions of traditional crafts and a hands-on craft project for all ages. Last year it was cornhusk dolls, this year it will be another rustic doll figure made of sticks and rags (fabric scraps). Outside, for the fresh air fostered ap- petites are deluxe sausage dogs with all the fixings and apple caramel nachos for those with a sweet tooth. It is also the last Saturday market of the season. Ven- dors usually keep longer hours, staying on into the afternoon. So put Oct. 8 on your calendars, make an ad- ditional date with kids, grandkids, family members and neighbors to come be a part of this wonderful com- munity event. Plan to pick any excess apples you might have, as there is usually a manual press for use by any who bring in apples.

In the past geraniums were often over wintered hanging up- side down after having been removed from their pots, with soil shaken off the roots. To do this the storag loca- tion must of course be protecte from frost, but at the same time should be cool with high relative humidity. An unheated garage, shed or crawl space should do nicely. In spring the tops and roots are pruned back before they are repotted and growth begins again. Some stem and root tissue natu- rally dehydrates and dies during this hanging, bare root storage process, and these are the parts to remove in spring. Most homes don't now have a cool, damp, dark unheated location for this process to work. As with fuchsias, bring the plants into light, water and get a good fertilization routine estab- lished in spring when light begins to strengthen.
