fuchsia question
"P. Alves" wrote in message ... Thanks guys for all the replies. The location is Portugal (I used to live in Lancaster/UK) but I moved recently. Weather here is not always as nice as they picture on TV! It is not frost free, in winter temperatures can get to -5C at night and morning frost can be quite bad. I think I will play on the safe side and keep it frost free, take some cuttings and then take the risk next winter. Thanks again. You will not be taking a risk next winter because by then the roots of the plants will have hardened in the ground during the summer and consequently they will withstand the winter frosts, particularly if you mulch them with suitable material. Regards, Emrys Davies. |

The message
from Sacha contains these words: On 12/10/08 21:22, in article , "Rusty Hinge 2" wrote: The message from Sacha contains these words: Well, ours died, despite it being very mild all winter - indeed, many of my runner beans survived and came up again, in much the same position. Bad batch, perhaps? Such things can happen but especially if plants are forced and then get planted out. Maybe, but the batch was liberally spread round South Norfolk, and mine was planted out in the spring. And the others survived - or not? BTW, I didn't do the bit above about runner beans. I don't do runner beans. ;-) As I said up there ^, somewhere, all six died. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |
