Q& A

Question
We live on the East Coast and have thirty hanging plants that we cut back and put in the garage for the winter. Do we have to water these plants? Anything we need to do to them for the winter?

Answer
Without knowing what plants you have all I can offer is vague advice; yes keep them watered, but just. Being soggy this time of year is a death sentence for most plants. Any of the plants that have maintained green foliage will need some light; a window or somewhere close to one will do.

You may or may not get these plants back the following year; tropicals like New Guinea impatiens are not going to survive that treatment and annuals like regular impatiens don't come back period, so check the tags and let us know.
