What we would like very much to hear from you is how your cuttings develop
because although temps are brutally low, light levels might be higher? This
is pure supposition/guesswork/curiosity on my part but I'd like to hear how
your cuttings do.



Tell my very favourite gardener that I have done as he advised today.
Now what, I have an unheated greenhouse aka a plastic thing until I
get a proper one?

Unheated won't do in your winter. Can you get an electrician to run a
*safe* connection out to the tunnel so that you can plug in one of those
little 'frost beater' heaters. These are on a thermostat to keep the temp
above freezing but not to force the plants.
