trimming work

I've started bringing my mini geranium and stevia inside for the night, to avoid chill. Cut back the stevia down to the lower foliage that has sprouted at base (which also looks healthier than the top half). The tops I hung to dry for use in winter- it wasn't much, really.

Geranium looked like this after I cleaned off all the dried dead leaves on lower stems.

And so- after its annual trim.

Its leaves are rather small right now.

I see them right when I step outside the door onto my deck, with the little pond container between. It's so simple with just water lettuce and greater duckweed- but actually got a few compliments on it, my husband for one noticed and said "hey, that's pretty, the little pond."
