Weather Warning

It is starting to be quite chilly in the evenings now, and my tender plants are gradually being migrated indoors. In theory the bananas should all be ok down to -5 or so, but in practise they will need to come in for this year at least. Their roots are much more sensitive to frost, and as they are in fairly small pots still, are more likely to suffer.

I had a musa basjoo (japanese hardy banana) which died last year, whilst there were flowers on the citrus trees around it.

The weathermen are predicting a cold winter, so I'm not taking any chances.
