Wintering Over | |||||||
|
The glass-house in winter is always full of half hardy plants wintering over. In the Moosey garden we get frosty mornings, and pelargoniums and daisies wouldn't always survive. My favourite peppermint pelargoniums are particularly susceptible. Later in spring I'll take cuttings and repot the parent plants. ![]() Sheltering from Winter Frosts I also start off my spring seeds in the glass house in the middle of winter - the temperatures are never too cold, and the glass-house doesn't need heating. Things are always a bit messy, though - and often there'll be a mouse or two taking shelter in here. I also move in some of the more tender succulents, just in case their usual spot on the patio gets a little too cold. And maybe one spring I'll have some specially grown early potatoes to boast about!
