I think you'll find you're not alone in that selection for the kill
file. I'm sure you're right that Puce thinks silence means support,
not realising it signifies kill files - ditto poor old Crowe.
However, if everyone kill files her she can go on giving the garbage
information she's just given Judith Lea re planting Oleanders
outdoors in hideously low winter temperatures and keeping them wet!

It says you can plant Oleanders outdoors, down to -5 and -10 for short
periods.


Yes indeed. What the argument developed from was Puce refusing to believe
that Judith's village in France gets a LOT colder than that and stays that
way for some time.

I've never had one. Anything I say on here is something I've actually done,
not something I've read, unless it has one of these after it :-)

My fingers are crossed with my Bougainvillea, it's staying outdoors in
bubble wrap unless it gets extreme.

Some people don't trust bubble wrap because it causes condensation and the
plants rot. On the whole, horticultural fleece might be safer and you could
build a frame covered in plastic to act as a sort of mini greenhouse,
perhaps?
This might provide some inspiration. ;-)
