Yes, you can dig them up, pot them and bring them in to the sunniest spot you have in the house. They will likely suffer shock, lose most of their leaves, and then grow back from the ends and look funny. (just stating my experience, my Grandma did this for
years and years) I have NEVER heard of drying them, as far as I know geraniums have no storage capacity and are dead once they dry out. ...

I think next year, either we may have to drive 45 minutes to have a garden
spot of our own on the land section that Dad has, or we have to apply for a
garden spot from the city, but who knows as we really want to plant our
real
vegetable garden.

Did you want me to take pics of the
indoor gardening kit full of herb
plants for now? LOL

They're
gladioli, you have to dig them up for the winter. Dig them up whole, let them dry a few days and then gently break or cut the bulbs free from the leaves. Hang them in an onion bag (for air circulation) somewhere cool and dark. Then plant them again in the spring. You can keep them for years this way.

I have planted 75 tulips & daffodils in the past week. I'm now wishing our
front yard was fenced because DD "helps" for a few minutes then heads for the road, and I have to get DH to take her in. She likes planting the "onions" as she calls them though.

I left mine to dry on it's own, and then I will chop the head off for next year (hopefully in
another town ;)) Mine are Dwarf sunflowers.

You can trim them to the ground after the frost turns them brown, or you can leave them and do it in the spring. The stems die to the ground every winter and new ones grow
from the roots in the spring. It's a good idea to collect seeds from lupines and start a few new every year, as they can be a short-lived perennial. I used to have some and they disappeared after awhile. Yay for perennials,...
