| Digging Up The First Of The Tender Plants |
Over the last few weeks the team have been keeping a close eye on the various weather apps and media outlets watching out for when the first frost is due. Last week the 10 day forecast projected a drop in overnight temperatures and a frost for the 1st November but, in the last few days, this has changed to this Sunday night which has resulted in a hive of activity in the herbaceous border and greenhouse today. The many tender plants that inhabit the border during the summer months will be damaged and even killed by a frost so need to be dug up, transported to the warm greenhouse and potted up for winter storage. Large banana plants, succulents, trees and specimen plants were all removed, carefully taken over to the greenhouse and potted up in to the appropriate sized pots. They will remain under glass until next June when they make the return journey back to the herbaceous border for replanting.
