Yes, me too. I think I was lucky last year. They were outside in polytunnel though, but didn’t water them at all. Brought them into the shed on really cold nights

@richard.spicer.7906 oh so they will make it if they’re protected. That’s great news 😁 is your polytunnel as warm as an unheated greenhouse during the colder months?

@gjones I was amazed at how different they look after the sun they’ve had. The green and brown look great together 😋

Ooh, lucky you to have one so close by, I think those family run places are definitely the best, the nearest one to me is 26 miles away, good job really as I'd be there all the time. 😀😱
