@bigbore How is your tree fern doing, any growth yet? I'm impatient, I can feel some nice fronds ready to come out, but no signs yet :-(

I have an irrigation system setup, it's one of the drippers. I have a main supply pipe that runs round the edge of the garden so I just tap into it where needed.

The right thing to do, Bigbore. I ignored the warning of frost a few weeks ago and my Foxtail Lilies got "singed" a little bit but not fatally.
