Maybe it is the new way to protect tender plants from frosts.

Another one tough as old boots, mine has a good show of new leaves already, wouldn't say its the prettiest plant but worth a space in the garden for the bees and butterfly it attracts and the longevity of the blooms that still hold a good deep colour as they go over.

It's going to be nice weather wise this weekend - do you think it's safe to put seedlings out yet?

I am very impressed with my Marguerite from Leedle, lovely big size and such a bargain. In fact it was so good I purchased two, one to go in a pot at the front of the house and one for the chicken garden.

Couldn't believe it today. We have had a week of sunshine, sometimes the temperature was 14. Last night it chucked down all night. About 1 lunchtime it started to drizzle and then it came down in stair rods. Next thing it turned to hail yike* Our front lawn was white and took some time to clear.
So be very careful {warn}

I am not listening, la la la.

Don't worry the margs are going in pots at the front of the house where it is sheltered plus they will absorb the heat from the house bricks (IYSWIM) until at least the end of the month.
