Fuchsias

Googling those two joolz, I think that they are two that I have harvested - they certainly look similar anyway. I may well take you up on your kind offer next year though

I should have, but alas I was in a but of a hurry to get them all home and planted as soon as - I reckon that I have between 7 and 10 varieties, some of which seem really vigorous. I got a good few of a really pretty, delicate, light pink one.

 

Given the temperatures outdoors this last couple of days, should I be opening the wee bags to change the air in them, or would that only serve to let the moisture out?

 

Thanks Jenny - I've tucked them away in the shadiest corner of the garden, so any sunlight they get is momentary at the start or the end of the day.

I must get some decent compost for repotting them before winter, as they are in plastic cups at the moment.

 

Once I get their wee tents off, I shall get some photos going. Peering through the bags, all seems to be well so far (none have completely keeled over yet)

 

That is stunning!

Things would appear to be well in the fuchsia department - the bags are looking a bit sorry for themselves having taken an absolute hammering from the rain yesterday, but the cuttings themselves look to be perky and a few even have flower buds growing on them.

Only a couple of weeks left and I'll be opening them up to see which ones have survived, and then I'll move them into the shady corner of the polytunnel.
