How long will it be before I can be sure of the geranium's fate please?
If there's no shoots by mid-april can I be sure it's a gonner and
replace it?
Thanks a lot,

Ps: I'm new to gardenning. Clearly :-)

It's a root. Geraniums are not bulbs.
Are you sure it was a geranium? When you're first gardening it's difficult to
get your head around all the latin names.
If you were making the holes with a broom handle, I find it hard to imagine how you would have done major damage - More likely to have roughtly shoved it out of the way. So I'd be hopeful.
Mid April is a bit soon to decide it's a goner. I'd wait till May or June.
