Can I bring in my annuals after the season (Octoberish) and keep them alive during the winter to reuse in the spring? I have supertunias, portaluca, flowering vinca, vinca vine, summer snapdragon and monkey grass all in individual pots
 
Monkey grass (liriope) is a perennial...you can plant that now, and it will come back year after year. Then you can dig them up and repot them if you like.
Vinca vine can be overwintered indoors. As to the rest, I doubt it.
 
I've wintered geraniums in the house and had them live. Vinca vine has come back when left outside, and I've been surprised these last few summers by snapdragons coming back.

One of my friends brings in quite a few annuals, mostly grasses and geraniums and she has great luck with them. She has the perfect location with lots of sun, and she lives alone so she babies them.
 

I usually bring in my fav geraniums. They carry over well in a sunny location around the jacuzzi in my bathroom :sunny: You can also knock the dirt off and hang them in a dark dry spot in the house. The basement is good for me. I don't bring in petunias they come back strong year after year. Vinca and grasses come back for me as well. Snapdragons are iffy sometimes they come back for me. Depends on the location in the garden.
