My three lovely daughters have given me a beautiful, healthy

even a greenhouse ((

The consensus of opinion on URG a few years back seemed to be that
jasmines need lots of light and hate central heating. I would not
have bought one myself, but I would so hate to disappoint the girls
and have it expire! Might it survive until, say, May, by which time
it ought to be able to go outside?

Do you have a south-facing sheltered wall? If so, it should survive
outside there if planted out later this year unless it gets really
specially cold. I took one off the wall of this house when we moved
it: it was a massive thing and really took some moving!

Victoria,

This is a serious question, not a "Dig." I noticed that the previous owners
of our current house had removed a couple of plants before heading off.
Something we would never have dreamed of doing. Is this common practise in
England?

Regards

Martin
