I guess I got lucky with them all last winter, but I'll try the belt and braces approach this year and store some in the shed (wrapped up in paper a-la Dahlias?), and a bit of mulching over what's left too (The untidier the better for me, as it'll make the two scruffy looking winter hanging baskets I've just made look slightly better!) | |
