| Hi everyone,
My husband and I just bought our first home after having lived in apartment buildings for the last six years, so this is my first real opportunities to have lots of plants. So far I have only re-potted geraniums, and in my haste yesterday I bought garden soil instead of potting mix at home depot. I didn't realize what I had done until after I was finished re-potting the geraniums. Are these geraniums doomed for the summer? Do I really need to replant them? Any suggestions would be really helpful. thanks! |

| Not likely; geraniums can take a fair bit of abuse. They tend to be succulent so don't over-water as the 'garden' soil won't drain as well. |
