Text 15th Sept 06 Fuchsias still in bloom

Created by scotkat on 15/09/2006 (797 days ago)

About this time I would normally start to let my fuchsias rest and cut back or take tip cuttings. I think I shall wait untill the end of the month this year as they were late to bloom. Shall down size into smaller pot and fresh compost. Bury in trench in my greenhouse and cover with horticultural fleece,leave until Spring o7. My standard fuchsias I will keep indoors inheat and spray just to keep them ticking over.

Text Fuchsias now taken indoors 1st Oct 2006

Created by scotkat on 01/10/2006 (781 days ago)

Have taken all my fuchsias now indoors today 1st Oct 2006. Weather still nice and sunny but can now start to feel chill in the air. Have decided to keep indoors and spray with tepid water and keep them ticking over slowly rather than bury in a trench. Which is what I have normally done,but last year lost all my fuchsias this way as we had a really cold winter. So want to try and prevent this.
