hey everyone it's gardening with Ben
0:02
here with today's episode today we're
0:04
going to be talking about saving your
0:06
geranium plants for next year yes you
0:09
can actually save them save having you
0:11
to buy them again next year you can
0:13
actually save the ones that you've got
0:15
planted so all our geraniums are planted
0:17
out in the ground at the moment the
0:19
weather is starting to get colder we're
0:20
now in November so if we were to leave
0:23
them out they would die from the frost
0:25
it will kill the plants off but what you
0:27
can do is dig them up and pot them up
0:30
and store them in a nice Greenhouse or a
0:32
shed where it's a bit warmer and look
0:35
after them throughout the winter and
0:36
replant them again next year so yeah
0:40
let's get these dug up and let's get
0:42
them potted up and put in the shed for
1:07
so as you can see the deriums are still
1:09
flowering but yeah it's time to take
1:11
them up time to take them out and time
1:13
to pop them up we've got another one
1:15
just there got one over there one over
1:18
there so we've got quite a few geraniums
1:20
around we want to save them cuz they're
1:21
expensive to buy geranium plants so
1:24
let's get these potted up dug up and
1:27
stored away for winter
1:31
so we've dug all them out so it's Cas of
1:33
just putting them into a nice large
1:35
plant pot nice and deep so that we can
1:37
keep them watered and look after them in
1:40
the shed so let's get these potted up in
1:46
compost so we've potted all them up now
1:50
and yeah it's just case keeping them
1:51
watered any that I've got flowers on
1:53
them pull them off I know it may seem
1:56
pretty but you need it to concentrate on
2:00
so yeah take the flowers off and put
2:03
them somewhere nice and warm over
2:06
winter doing this with the geraniums
2:08
always reminds me of my granddad as he
2:11
used to have geraniums all around his
2:13
garden and then in the winter time it'd
2:17
always bring them into its house and
2:19
keep them in its house all through
2:20
winter ready for planting out next year
2:23
so this is something that I always
2:25
remember him doing as I was quite Young
2:28
when he passed away but that is one
2:30
thing that I can remember him actually
2:32
doing so yeah I'm glad that the green
2:35
fingers does pass down from my Grandad
2:37
to my dad to me and hopefully carry
2:41
on so I popped them in the shed we'll
2:44
keep them watered and hopefully keep
2:47
them alive till next year save us some
2:51
pennies so I hope you enjoyed that video
2:53

2:55
