I've lost fewer plants than I expected, but living in London has to have some benefits! I lost that poisonous pink shrub -oleander, I think. It had never flowered in three years and I don't think I would have liked it even if it had. Will you replace your tender plants? They are worth the risk, I suppose, if you can afford to replace them
I've lost a lovely Graham Stuart Thomas rose and lots of little babies in 9cm pots which I really should have got planted last year. A salutary lesson.
Lost several different Salvias, despite being in greenhouse and a few Agastache, luckily I grow these from seed each year. Also no sign of my Delphiniums, which is a surprise.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
It's not turning our as badly as I feared - and here's a warning. If I had not been so busy I should have dug up some of the 'dead' plants that are now showing signs of life. It has been such a late Spring so give your plants time to wake up.
I think I may have lost two Clematis montana, both in pots, both should have been planted last year. I lost some biennial seedlings which made it through the Winter only to be killed by snow/frost/wind in February. A teeny tiny Hydrangea cutting given to me by a friend's dad had the cheek to show two wee buds and they were also murdered in February... Everything is so far behind that I'm not giving up on my clemmies making a recovery but we'll see.
Haha... you're so right, @B3 , I cut one right down a couple of weeks ago assuming the worst, and moving the tower to another plant. Need to buy a new obelisk for it now...!
A ceanothus (like many others) and probably most of the dahlias left in the ground. Can't see any life in my dwarf fuchsia (Tom Thumb) yet but that's always late to show.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
