How did the cold winter weather affect your plants? I lost a
zantedeschia, and some agapanthus (all in pots).
I have far fewer flowers on agapanthus generally but I have the best
display of lily blooms I've ever had, again, mostly in pots. Do I
assume that lilies like the cold?
I was quite surprised how few plants didn't survive.

I don't know about decorstive plants but my fan traineg Victoria plum set
more flower than it has recently (an has a good crop set). My raspberries
and blackberry are producing more new wood than they did last year. Is it
because they had an enforced rest in Dec/Jan and had time to gather their
straenght?

I have to say most of my shrubs are bigger and better than ever :-)
