Frost Alert

Yesterday we had to hurriedly change our plans as the weather forecast was for 2 degC for this morning.  Operation 'Save the Geraniums'* swung into action and all of the Geraniums were lifted and potted up.

They will spend the winter in the Porcherie, hopefully protected against the frosts and cold.

The New Guinea Impatiens were also transferred to their winter quarters.

Sue also rushed around picking most of the Dahlia blooms as they would be ruined by this morning and distributed then to friends.

As it happens we just escaped a frost this morning ... only 2 degC, but 2 degC is forecast again tomorrow!

*Strictly speaking the plants are Pelargoniums but colloquially referred to as Geraniums.
