surviving plants

~ it's not easy without somewhere to house your tender stuff when it is as cold as it has been these last two winters~you can get really nice metal greenhouses in really small sizes 4 by 4 and 6 by 4~or maybe a lean to against the house?~ I am sure your plants will be fine as long as they have enough light~

thanx arlene, these should keep going now, lots of light at patio door, but will think about a small greenhouse

You won't regret it San......Tell Baz it will save him money (for that holiday for next year's birthday...lol)

lol alice just told him,,, not working though grrr, he said he thinks they are an eye sore look awfull and take up space, this is a man who doesnt like gardening by the way hahah. but i have to look at his old cars "hello" lol

~ the green ones are okay~ get him to see some online~ tell him your'e worth it!

lol arlene i will try, im already trying to get a new garden companian :o(

No more treats now till the big 6 0...:0)

You did well to rescue these ..we lost all tender cuttings almost as soon as that bad spell hit Took us by surprise ! As you say...a re think if winters are going to be like this one.

lol blue,,, i cant wait 10 years hahah :o))
yes i guess i was lucky to save these ray, im defernatly going to sort the box room out and put a table in there for plants, seems the best solution

Just buy one San....and forget to tell him......

Sandra ~ check out the small greenhouses~ this is where I got mine from! www.GreenhousePeople.co.uk

I was going to say the same as Alice, my son has a green lean to one at his house and it`s a very neat looking one and has proved very useful, if space is limited they are ideal San............

Can't you turn one of the old cars into a 'plant room', Sanbaz? One of those camper vans with the upwards extending roof would work well :)

I can see that working Gee , Baz will love that idea .. LOL...

lol alice ;o))
i will check the web site out thanx arlene ;o)
Gee im laughing my head off here, good idea lol
exactly amy lol
sorry sue almost missed you there, thanx :o)

I think you have done reallty well Sandra, it has been so severe this winter that I think most of us have suffered fatalities. I keep my plants in the garage which has been convertated to work /utility room. I have a small heater with a frost control, but have still lost a few cuttings, but hey thats all part of gardening you lose some and win some ;0))

your right carole just wish i hadnt lost my fuschia`s, my lovely swingtime :o((

Sandra was in my greenhouse other day and there are some baby hollyocks doing alright, fingers crossed they stay ok for a few more weeks then you can have some.

thats good news carol, i have some seeds left and may try some in spring, thanx carol would be lovely and if i get something going i will give you something to ;o))
