Fuchsias - 2016

Thanks Linz. I'm not sure that the Wilcos ones are labelled correctly as some seem to be exactly the same as other varieties. I couldn't resist them at £3 for 6 plugs and was amazed at how well they did!

 

I thought they were good too at the time, I bought petunia plugs aswell, only in the last month they have really started to bloom and they turned out to be the wrongly labelled too! So I'm staying away from mini plugs if I can help it, Found this lil un hiding in a small pot that was behind another one.. I'm sure its a wilko plug!

 

Hi. Rustler, not sure if cuttings would survive out on balcony especially if it gets frosty. I would wait or ask the experts on that one.
Linz, What on earth is Moo Poo weather Never heard of that one!! Is it Welsh like Bara Tare. No idea how to spell it or if it is correct but my mum & dad used to give it to me and is a bowl of tea with bread & butter in it,sugar ,milk & cheese!!! That is what they called it anyway. There is not one person I have described it to that does not go ugg that sounds horrible,luvvy jubbly,

 

I never heard of it either! c.rap is regularly (daily) used word in the welsh language not moo poo!

cheese?! with tea?! regularly had tea with buttered toast dipped in it when I was a lil un mind. haha lovely jubbly

 

c.rap--moo poo get it now moo poo is often used in our house especially by me when I spill tea over keyboard

 

On the subject of moo-poo, how would donkey poo be as fertiliser? Have a field full of donkeys on dog walk and loads could be scooped. It can't be much different to horsey stuff?

 

I assume it would be the same but have to sit for awhile and rot down..

Advice please. My two Microphylla's are currently in 2 ltr pots wrapped in bubble wrap inside a mini greenhouse. The temperature as I type is at least -2C, should they be brought inside? They are still in flower but I hate to think the frost will damage or kill the roots.

 

I don't think -2 will freeze the compost @Sheal but if it drops lower, it may. I'd put them in a shed.

 

That's a lovely fuchsia @Anthony Rogers I like the ones with long tubes
