Under the influence?

In spite of a summer as dry as a bone, we’ve never had geraniums that look so good as this year. They’re big, colorful and super-healthy. On countless occasions Evelyne has pointed to her flowers as her very special pride and joy; she was so insistent on it, that one day I asked, “so what so special about them?” She said, "These guys are doing so well because I only fertilize them with coffee grounds." So that’s the secret to our geranium health in a high-desert environment; getting high on caffeine! I must say that we drink LOTS of coffee; glad there’s no anti-doping control yet…
