If you start planning now, the first frosts of autumn do not have to bring to an end the pleasures provided by your flower beds and vegetables gardens. Many plants can be brought inside to provide winter color and, if you have _a^ sunny window, an occasional^ harvest. I * If you have plants already growing in containers, it will be a simple matter to bring them indoors. Start moving them indoors at night when the temperature drops below 60 degrees to maintain their vigor and flower productivity. When it is time to leave them indoors, place them where they receive sunlight equivalent to what they received out-of-doors.
Among the plants that are easy to maintain indoors are begonia, coleus, geraniums and ivy. Hanging baskets of these plants thrive in a bright window. Last winter, I was successful in moving a basket of petunias indoors and maintaining bloom in a southern-facing window.
