Greetings, fellow northerners! Winter has hit us quite suddenly over the past couple of days, with about 10 inches of sticky snow and the temp dropping from mid 30s to low single digits (F). (Before that we only had about 3" of snow on the ground and Lake Michigan is still pretty much wide open - very unusual year!)

Tomsud, I haven't been active here for a while now but happened to pop in to read an article about asparagus that was featured in the newsletter, and just happened to see your post about the geraniums... to answer your question, yes, the geraniums grow into nice plants, but the seeds do need to be started very early under lights; if I was growing them this year, I probably would have started them already (along with onions, which I started on Feb. 1st). Give them a try!
