I hope the weather coming your way does not kill it. Here in New Hampshire I have lost countless plants when the weather has been mild and then all of a sudden we have a really cold spell. Perhaps you should cover it if you are in the area where the freezing will be.

The gardens are definitely moving on fast it seems.Wonderful!
Daffodils are well advanced and ready to open.I read somewhere that Wordsworth's daffodils on the edge of Grasmere these days bloom at least a month before they did in his time, according to his poetry and his sister's journals.
Only yesterday I even found the green shoots of my Delphiniums showing through.Had to go out and get going with slug killer -just in case.Hopefully a late frost won't zap them.
Spring in the air -definitely!

We are in a cold snap at the moment and I hope it passes quickly but judging by the forecasts I'm not sure it will.

My Delphiniums have survived the night.

I haven't noticed Wrighty, but I'm in the process of getting a greenhouse going after many years of thinking about it, so I'm planning to grow alsorts of exotic plants. Hope your vine's OK. hAs anyone got any good ideas for the greenhouse aside from the usual tomatoes .

Noel if you want to grow anything exotic in your greenhouse you will need to have some form of heating in it.

The sun. Isn't that hot enough Dedrah.[:p][:p][:p]
No I wasn't thinking of growing anything exotic, just wondered what else would be good to grow other than the usual tomatoes.
