In my local garden centre I saw a very nice climber which had small bluebell
like flowers. I'd not seen it before although it said "grown in the UK since
Victorian times". What surprised me was that it said it was "Frost hardy to
2C". I would have called that frost tender.
Also, the forecaster on News 24 (Jay?)said that today's rainfall would be
beneficial to gardens in the SE and also help the resevoirs. I wouldn't have
thought it would make much difference to either if there is only the
predicted 5-10mm.
