we had a *very* slight frost here this morning. High winds came back for
a
bit yesterday afternoon, which was worrying but they died away quickly.
Today is clear and sunny with just a touch of cloud about.

Just a bit blustery here but Sun and about 44F. We have had three mild
frosts so far this winter,not sufficiently fierce to kill any leaves on a
Colocasia (fallax?) or Canna. The high winds we had were warm and we had 52F
for a few hours one night. The Akebia is not in flower but it is in full
leaf bud;-).
The decision to make now -is it worth waking Bananas,Gingers etc from
dormancy and taking the risk of knackering the lot.
