    It's in the tunnel now. I don't cut anything back or give it any protection unless there's a really REALLY hard frost forecast when I might chuck a bit of fleece over the top for the night.
    Tough love here. Do or die.
    @Dovefromabove, fair enough if it's in a pot to bring it in. I thought it was in the ground now.

    Evening.
    Looking forward to Bake Off semi-final tonight. I have reserved the lounge TV and will make sure supper is made, eaten and cleared away before 8. 
    Glad you survived the jab @Obelixx
    Gorgeous Acers @steveTu - more pics please anyone who has them. I’ll do some when mine are colouring up. 
    I don’t have anything to move for Winter, except for a few pots which go under a bit of shelter and my lemon verbena which comes indoors (into a cool room). 
    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    right, how come I removed 66 agapanthus from the polytunnel in Spring and planted about 40 in the garden, then today I've just put 71 back into the tunnel? 
    Clearly I'd not appreciated A: how many I'd split,and B: I may have bought some more.

    I think you might have admitted to buying more ...

    I’m sure you did ... and like @Lyn, I have the memory of an elephant 🐘 🐘 🐘

    How very rash of me to buy more plants. Not like me at all.

    Not at all like you @Hostafan1 ... maybe it was that husband of yours .., he’s been known to come home loaded with plants for you. I’d blame him if I were you 😉

    he rather foolishly said earlier " I think we should get some new dahlias next year. I'll pay for them"
    I suggested the national collection in Penzance with an overnight stay.
    " yeah that's fine, let's do it" 
    I love him sometimes.
