After last year's disaster, I'm determined not to be caught on the hop again. I have bought a big roll of horticultural fleece. But what do I do with it?
It seems to me to be logical that I cover the plant and tag it into the soil; but some of the photos show it tied round the stalk.
So far, I'm trying to save rosemary (PLEASE don't tell me you don't have a problem over winter; I am yet to get one to last from one year into next and it's not for want of trying), a white camellia and some lavendar.
I can't make up my mind about clematis and wisteria- the wisteria was only planted last year, and it did reasonably in greenery, but was so badly damaged by the snow, I thought I'd lost it; but it hung on. It's not topping the arch I built for it. If I did try to protect it, how would I do that?
When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius; lift up thy head!
Do you think this'll do?
More round the sticky-oot bit on the wisteria?
