As the first day of winter has officially arrived, annuals have been put away for the year. Let's talk about how you treat these tender plants in your garden.

Team Overwinter: This team keeps some or all of their annuals through the winter. By cuttings to root, by bringing in hanging baskets, or by using a greenhouse, annuals are kept through to the following year.

Team Buy New: This team lets all of their annuals die and starts completely from scratch every year (from reseeding, buying new bedding plants and hanging baskets, or starting their own seeds).

Tell us which team you belong to! If you are part of "Team Overwinter", tell us which plants you overwinter, and how you do so.
