Frost Watch



One flake of snow and I'm off to wrap this beauty in bankets with a hot water bottle at its roots and a cup of cocoa in its twig if needs be. A couple of years ago a late frost took all the blossom and all I was left with were two measley plums. Lesson learned!

The French pile big round cobbles around the feet of their vines so that they absorb the heat during the Spring sunshine which is than let out in the chilly Spring nights.

Worth a try?
