Sometimes it pays to procrastinate! The geraniums (2) were 1/2 off--$1.50 each. They had no blooms whatsoever. I talked to another shopper and asked her if they would be OK.
"Yeah, sure," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"I've never seen a geranium not bloom."
She was right!
They looked kind of lonely when I planted them, so I went back the next day. The "grass" was on sale too but when I got to the till, I couldn't remember the price and the cashier had trouble ringing them up, so she sold them to me for a penny each. I tried to find something that would fill in the front and cascade down the front of the ugly pot (a freebie from my Mom) but, truly, there was nothing left.
Just as well. It acts as a door stop for the back yard screen door.
I *love* bright red geraniums!!! They are such a cheerful thing. Yay for procrastination!
