    Dear Marge

    Normally very successful with overwintering my fuchsias as I have them buried in a trench inmy greenhouse then covered with horticultural fleece.

    Its part of the challenge and the love of the hobby.

    Yes we can get severe frosts and winters.

    I am so sorry Roseman yes and at this tiem of year can make it worse.

    It was hard loosing my parents beginning of the year but loose my brother and birth family wiped out it really did hurt me as I was still greiving my parents loss.

    We all have a lovley memories close to our heart and they are there forever.

    But I am so happy with my Forget-me-not fuchsia she is a real delight.
