      I am so pleased I moved my fuchsias behind glass after the wild weather that we got today.

          Great Joolz glad you have got them all moved now.

          Today I need to tidy some of my fuchsias in greenhouse that are now sheading leaves.

          And then catalugue on pc my List of fuchsias that I have overwintered.

                They all look so healthy Loli. You've looked after them very well this Summer and they are as happy as pigs in chiffon in their new abode.
