        Certainly hope so, the pot was packed with roots, which should now enjoy the free root run!

        Nice Yucca Gaz :blue thumb:

        Are you bringing any tender stuff outside yet or removing protection?

          Starting to get some outside no, and have the greenhouse doors open. Its always a tricky balance at this time of year. Pretty much everything we have in the greenhouses/large shed are hardy enough for the current temperatures but theres that risk of frost.

          Generally we like to get things out early rather than molly coddle for too long.
