Moving inside

Long before the night temps dropped below freezing, I moved my Meyer lemon tree inside for the winter. All I need to do is remember to keep it well watered, which unfortunately is a challenge for me. I also moved the geranium in, but it is so pathetic looking, I did not photograph it.


After reading Margaret Roach's post about overwintering rosemary (new vocabulary word: etiolated), I am trying to keep mine outside as long as possible. Night temps are now reliably below freezing, so I throw a pillowcase over the plant every evening. So far, so good. I'm not sure what I will do once daytime temps drop as well.


At least it doesn't need much water now.
