Took a photo a couple of days ago of my geraniums.
The expected rain and thunderstorms later will overwater them, yet again.
The first frost, when it ever gets here, will polish them off for good. They are annuals here. I could bring them inside the house and have them look straggly, but why bother?
It is what it is. Live or die, they’ve been a pleasant addition this summer.
Are you sad to see the flowers go?

I don't like geraniums but that is what my aunt brought my this spring so that is what I put in my planters outside the door. I will bring them inside to get a bit of color and greenery inside. someone here told me that they will do fine inside. I also will bring in my pot of basil and keep that going for as long as I can. The mums will be tossed once they die.

Being in an apartment, I don't have any plants beyond cat grass. Technically, I could, but there two reasons why that might not be a good idea.

I hate to see them like that, I would probably build a wood frame with screen to put on top of them to give them a fighting chance

Seeing flowers leave is indeed a sad sight.

@DianneN lol no really it is just the way my life is, I’m not upset or bitter. I was late this year planting and then I was gone. I’m here with Al and he is my life. I am going to go away overnight so I will get to enjoy the fall weather in Sturbridge.

Ah yes. I have a hard time uprooting the plants - flowers or vegetables, but when they're done, they're done. The plants know the seasons. I thank them for serving their purpose . I like your planters

@DianneN The reason why I do not plant them it is because they stink.
I planted one year as they told me that they keep away the mosquitoes, but it was not at all true, there are no plants that keep mosquitoes away from me.
I have roses, gladioli, a gardenia and other flowers in the garden. I cut yesterday the last roses of this year.

Most of mine moved back into the house about a week ago because of the cold morning temps we've been getting. They would've already been gone.
