I live in Arkengarthdale at 1200+ feet. (google it
)
It's windy. It's cold. I love it but plants don't.
I planted several Sea Buckthorn three years ago.
Three only still survive.
The only plant to live more than a year is Honeysuckle.
Except a hardy fuscia which lasted four years.
Ah! I tell a lie! Rosa 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' (I think, I'm no flower expert) has survived for as long as the honeysuckle.
I never can decide whether to dead head or leave the BIG hips for the winter birds, (those that can survive).
I have made up some raised beds to try and combat the killing conditions.
Yet to be proven since something decimated my brassicas before they had a chance to grow.
Even the sage pants were eaten.
Leeks still survive but don't look as if they will make a meal. Ever.
I'm guessing even Gardener's World wouldn't rise to this challenge,
