That is the time they seem to be the most beautiful. I've tried keeping ferns over winter and yes they make a huge mess. My daughter bought a green house so next year I am going to give them to her to keep. Lovely porch with the ferns and geranium. It is a drink coffee or tea, sit and stich all day kinda porch!

It helped some, but like you, I'm not sure it's worth it. Mine are in huge pots, another mistake as they grow huger. Anyway... Blowing like crazy here and cold. Winter has finally arrived. My toes were cold after feeding my animals in flip flops. Will have to put them away.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2239437409050334506.post-84813950970368403722015-11-21T11:00:19.976-06:002015-11-21T11:00:19.976-06:00I know I tryed to save them to, but the mess was a...I know I tryed to save them to, but the mess was awful.
