Alocoloman don't panic

let them enjoy the warm sunny weather for the next few days. Then just keep an eye on the weather forecasts. If you have a greenhouse then they shouldn't take too long to get into there if frost forecast.

Amblealice I would suggest you bring your fuchsias into a frost free environment for the winter. Take off all the leaves and only water very sparingly. In the spring, increase watering, trim back stems slightly and take cuttings when the shoots are large enough.

Stickitoffee brilliant, thats very helpful. do they need much light at this point? would the garage be too dark?

Seaburngirl once they have dropped their leaves they wont need light. reduce watering but dont let the compost dry out totally and they will be fine in the garage or shed.
