Title: How are we coping?
Post by: ideasguy on December 20, 2010, 03:30:07 PM

I'm almost afraid to ask Malcolm directly, with his collection of tender plants :o

How are we managing? I'm afraid Ive had to let nature take its course. I hope the blanket of snow will protect my new plants from these very low sub zero temperatures.

i bought a load of bare root laurels to plant whilst it was still mild here and guess what day they arrived when it snowed so no chance of planting now, they are in the greenhouse in plastic bags with compost around the roots hopefully that will keep them until the snow goes and worst of the frost  ::)
