pelargoniums of mass distraction

You know you've become obsessed with gardening when you think you hear the radio newscaster mention Iran's geranium enrichment program.

Down the road from me they're selling tiny geraniums for $1; and I can't pass up such a cheap deal, so our back balcony is now swamped with wee blooms of violet, coral and orange... This is in addition to all the other geraniums (red) I had bought thinking, and this will be the end of that, no more plants in my garden budget!

I don't know what I'm going to do with them all come winter... presuming they survive my tender mercies. The lucky ones will probably end up in a box -- forced into dormancy (is that why Milne's Dormouse likes them so much?) to be revived next spring.

Wonder if Martha sells a special box for that...
