When leaves begin to turn and frost sears all but the plants near the house foundation, don’t you wish you could take just a little bit of summer into the kitchen to keep when it snows?
Well, you can. Look under the long, rangy petunias with pointed, bursting seed pods. You’ll find the little fellows, the slow starters, just coming up.
Shaded by their hardier brothers, they are only a couple of inches high now and would ordinarily die in the first frost.
Window Plant
Lift them out with a thimbleful of soil, pot them in small containers—they like crowded roots—and place them on the upper sash of your sunniest kitchen window.
These winter petunias become vines and climb all around the window in a few weeks. The blossoms keep last summer’s fragrance and color in your house all winter.
