I'm worried too Freddies Dad. I put fleece over my camellia to protect the buds but I can see that's been flapping about. Also, I leave my dahlias in the ground - covered with compost - but not sure they will survive with all the rain, snow and cold we are having
Should I cover my Rhododendron and newly planted Clematis in Fleece,I have others to plant but can store those in the porch.Glad now that I haven't got round to it!😞
The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.
Planted some Lobelia Russian Princess this week. Got them mail order in 13cm pots. Have a fair root ball on them and frost hardy. I will leave them in the ground and prepare for frost by using large plastic water bottles and cutting them down leaving the top end and place them over the plants as mini cloches. Normally does the job

Thanks for that raisingirl. I'll take a look and see if the plants have any new growth - if it ever stops raining that is!
