We just have to enjoy the moment Barbarak. I am sure I have at least one rhodo that is looking decidedly unhappy. I am sorry to hear about your Daphne. I find them a challenging plant and would hate to lose one.

Well I guess it will have destroyed my osteospurmums , would you believe the silly things had buds on them and the little poached egg plants were actually flowering last weekend, can't even see my hellebores , but think they'll bounce back again once this lot has cleared, the g'houses are nogo areas, I'm not even opening the doors to have a look.......

The snows I get this time of year are wet spring snow; not the hard brutal arctic snow. My garden plants usually pull through unscathed.

I dread to think....but I doubt the Garden Centres will be happy. They will be losing a lot of stock too! Like Lincslass, I am trying hard not to think about it. Nothing we can do now...just have to see.

I started my seedlings indoors in little dixie cups. I must have a couple hundreds with all kinds of annuals & some perennials.

I think a large branch of my Pieris might have succumbed - its looking very unhappy. Best of luck everybody and fingers crossed. Its my hardy fuchsias that are worrying me most.

Paul I decided even before xmas to be good this year and not do a lot, I tell myself that every year, so pleased I have stuck to my resolution this time, I would have probably lost them all...
