The decision to make now -is it worth waking Bananas,Gingers etc from
dormancy and taking the risk of knackering the lot.

Oooh - not yet, Rupert! You'll kick yourself if February turns into what.
February so often does!

Thanks for bringing me back to reality.. IIRC last year we had a miserable
late spring so perhaps it's best to wait. Some of the more exotic stuff
(for me) has hardly gone dormant and even some stored canna tubers are
starting to sprout. I know that further South (London area) some of the
exotic plant folk are reporting things growing that would have seemed
totally impossible in previous years.


Indeed. But there's still time for trouble at t'mill. ;-) I think we
started off rather like this last year, didn't we?
