With limited space what would you save over winter?
I have no greenhouse, just a porch to overwinter plants.
I'm going to save the osteospermums with interesting colours. I saved my tarragon last year but have only used it once so that'll stay outside. Pelargoniums - no.
If you have limited space too, what will you save?

In London. Keen but lazy.

I leave lemon verbena outside - not because I don't mind if it dies, just because it's in a sheltered spot and it has come through several hard winters well enough, so it doesn't need to be inside. The only time I brought it in was during 'The Beast' when it sat in the way and we went round it for a couple of weeks.
I do have a couple of pelargoniums that I keep on the kitchen windowsill over winter - a scented one, Lord Bute and one I inherited from Mum that flowers all winter so earns it's keep.
I use mine for sheltering small plants/cuttings, or any seeds that would succumb to the wet weather, or potted tulips for the same reason, although I'd rather they were outside with shelter, as a greenhouse can be too warm for those if there's a bit of sun in late winter.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
