    I am hoping to this summer Jenny.

    And I repotted Golden Swingtime this afternoon .

    We now just need plenty of heat for all our fuchsias and other plants.

        Many thanks Davy. I have googled it and think you are right. What a cracker and as tough as old boots . I hope to be able to get some cuttings going later on. It is in a NE facing border. Good loam and stays pretty damp - so it should be almost ideal conditions.

        Joolz and Kath - not had a chance to get to the post office this week, so will post the Fuchsias early next week to avoid them sitting in a box over the weekend.

            Has anybody grown Perpetual Falls? It's supposed to be very hardy so am contemplating getting some.

                I found some here which are half price, but then you pay postage on top. Trying to decide whether to get some more Fuchsias or whether to wait and see whether I can actually grow them or not. I'll probably wait and see how I get on.
