Always loved to potter in the garden but only really in the last couple of years, have I embraced it by redesigning our space and growing from seed

Just hope I can save her over winter Julie, as this one isn't hardy, so will be mollycoddled!! 😂😂😂 @vec

😂😂 I'm sure it will! I've just been given some babies and when I thanked the donor he warned: 'You won't thank me in three years!' 😱

Fab! Hardy to a degree, needs the base and roots protecting though against frost. Can wait to see them! You must put baby pics up so we can see them grow! 👏👏😍 @susieg

Oh I will! A friend is going to look after them in her greenhouse over winter. I doubt it's heated though. Do you think they'll be ok? I'm wondering if they might still need fleece 🤔

As they're babies maybe some protection to be safe this first year? 🤔@susieg
