I have Vanille Fraise which was my first and have since bought Limelight, Mega Mindy, Prim White and Pink Diamond. I've had to rescue all except VF and PD from the beds they were growing in and grow them in pots this year so I can do some serious clearing of weeds such as couch grass and bindweed that were taking the mickey after 2 mild winters and my gardening absence for new feet.
They are all doing well but will be even happier back in the ground. They all turn pink eventually but I like it.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
"The price good men (and women) pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men (and women)."
I also have a limelight in its first year. It produced 1 spectacular flower which I supported. It's in a similar position to my Vanilla F so will treat it in a similar way for this year. Do you think it might need extra protection over winter, if so what would you recommend as I would like to leave it in situ, my greenhouse is yet a not too distant dream. You Guys are so helpful.
