My hardy Fuchsia's seem fine and are shooting away well. I thought that my Gaura lindenii 'Vanilla Ice' would probably be a goner but its now shooting away madly from below soil level and breaking through all over!

The various Agapanthus in the ground are all fine and shooting but the one in a container is mush! The roots got frozen solid in the pot of course.

Sub-shrubby Euphorbia's got blasted too so the wulfenii was removed today even though one shoot was alive and in flower. I'm a hard taskmaster!!! All herbaceous types are fine.

My Tulips which have been in for about four years now couldn't look better with loads of flowers to come soon. I didn't really expect these to keep coming back like this so am really, really pleased. Lime green and purple-black ones so really contrast with each other.

The Fuchsia thymifolia has shoots at its base - I hope Louise's one (bought at the same time) has, as well!

At least the big garden centres can afford to guarantee their plants.
