john: When I was very young, my dad had a cold frame which he built by a downstairs window. He would dig up Geraniums around the yard in the fall and plant them in the cold frame. The window to the basement would be opened and allow heat to go into the cold frame where the geraniums would survive the winter. I would climb up on a chair and poke my head through the window and smell the geraniums and watch them 'grow' during the cold winter months. The smell of these plants, planted a gardening seed in my soul that I haven't been able to shake. This blog is dedicated to my dad, who making a cold frame and preserving those geraniums from year-to-year, created a passion of gardening that I love so much. I hope to pass on this love of gardening to my kids and grandkids.
