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

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. Next wee:

kets, coats, socks, hats and gloves as the homeless and hungry in the corn
house plants and watered on a regu-
lar schedule. 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.

garden to bed, cover crops, dividing
or any other fall gardening project,
please contact the Master Gardener
Plant and Insect Clinic from noon to
3 p.m. on Mondays and ask a mas-
