Thanks Val, no I don't have a proper greenhouse yet, I have
a makedo one. I could bring them into the stables where it is
frost free, would you water, just a little or not?

Well as I said, I'm no expert but I wouldn't want them to dry out
completely as I think that would kill them. Just water occasionally
and from the saucer in the bottom, not via the top. But someone
more knowledgeable may say differently ?

I was under the impression that it was illegal to grow surfinias
from cuttings, unless you're a grower, with a licence to do so...

Oh indeed, Ray spends a lot of his time chasing people who take illegal
cuttings from Nemesia Bluebird and sell them on for thousands of pounds. Or
rather, his agent does. Those home gardening ladies are financial leeches,
I tell you.

LOL - AFAIK it is illegal to grow them commercially, is that so? Home
gardeners doing it for their own amusement doesn't come into that
category does it? If so, I'd better skulk under the bed when the
knock comes on the door!!! Oooer, I have just remembered I told the
Mayor that I intended taking cuttings, that's it, if you don't hear
from me for a while, you know I have been carted off to the Bastille
(sob) :-)
