It is time to read out the roll call of plants that did not make it through the winter:
Ceaonthus - only just over a year old, sorry you didn't get to really get going.
Olive Tree bought ten years ago at the Eden Project, really sorry you have gone. I vaguely hope that maybe there is a glimmer of hope for you, but I am not holding my breath.
Plant I bought at Tatton last year whose name I can't remember. You were really quite pretty, but even being in the conservatory didn't save you. Sorry.
Manx Fuschia - goodbye, maybe one of your cuttings has survived, but you were the original plant and I am surprised that you didn't cope, but sorry all the same. You were rather fine.
My dear tree fern. In reality you died last year and yet I still can't quite dig you up - just in case, just in case.......
Is it really that.....
but you're not dead - you are amazing and beautiful and bring total joy

Oh what a shame Alison ~ it was a cruel winter :( Still it has left you with some gaps which means you can now have fun shopping for replacements.
ReplyDelete@anna - I am saving up now - just got to replace it!
ReplyDeleteSad about your tree fern. I'm keeping our fingers crossed for ours....
