Another herbal addition. I think I'll move this in the greenhouse over winter. I'm fed up losing them!

Glad you agree Melchi. Last year I bought a beautiful triple stemmed twisted standard and it was in the sale and B&Q and it just died over the winter....or was it 2 years ago....I can't recall....anyway, it died. As did the one I had had outdoors in the front garden for 4 years with no problem.

Yes - that sounds pretty like my experience. They lull me into a false sense of security! Sad about your triple stemmed one - they are very attractive. Mine were cuttings from my original one bought years ago (and subsequently lost!)

Safer to move and shelter, we have to leave ours outside far too heavy to move, but it does get fleeced, pot and all, after all, it is OHs pride and joy!! and looking at the prices on the right of the page, it must be worth a fortune lol

That looks very promising! I find them so useful in stews and casseroles! They don't like a hard winter though, and I invariably forget to put them in the greenhouse. I think it's the right thing to do, though.
