Hi again. I've been offline for several weeks!

A wall basket from last year containing surfinias and bacopa has

survived the winter and is blooming marvellous!!! Would normally only

just have planted it up!

An amazingly mild winter.

I have Nasturtiums which over wintered, there was even a flower open on
New Years Day and they have been a mass of colour for the last few
weeks!

And up here in the far north of Scotland, I have numerous fibrous
rooted begonias coming through, a residue of last years summer
bedding. Never had that happen before!

Ardmhor

Echium fastuosum overwintered here and have flowered superbly. Ray did
cover them with horti fleece in case of frost but it was never a danger
in that particular bit of the garden. They've received a lot of
attention and comment and we're so glad they came through and have
performed so beautifully.
