I think I will just put the plants that were in the original pot that I didn't get potted on in greenhouse as an experiment.

I was wondering whether to put them on the greenhouse staging covered in bubblewrap but I am not sure whether or not they would survive?
Planted out the gifted hellebores and potted some up for a friend. Potted up some gifted hibiscus and planted out a cyclamen - finding a shady spot for hellebores and cyclamen is still a challenge, but free drainng is quite impossible. Perhaps the mole runs through the clay will help?
Two hour gentle motorcycle ride this afternoon around the very muddy country lanes in the hills between Tarbes, Lourdes and Bagneres - the mimosas are just coming into bloom everywhere and look stunning.
No idea but I'd be cautious Having said that, I'm just hoping my tubers in big pots survived minus 7. They were on the covered terrace tucked into a corner so not totally exposed.
I will still give them a bubblewrap blanket though!
