If it had been growing outside it would have had better light and be better able to support itself, but putting a 'fence' of canes and twine around the bed is always a good idea..  

Get it planted out as soon as possible - if it needs supporting individually use more canes and twine, but put the canes in as you plant so you can see what you're doing and don't damage the crowns.

Don't cut it back until the ferns have turned yellow and started to die back.

Since I moved to the West Country I've noticed that the snails get thenselves up in outfits looking like humbugs or creamy toffees and even a silky version of chocolate. How can we be expected to kill thesee beautiful creatures, I found it hard enough to dispatch the large stately common garden snails!!!!

Yes, we have snails masquerading as humbugs here in Norfolk too

It's been breezy here, but dry all day.  The wind is picking up a bit now, and there's a spit in the wind - think it's working up to it - hope so, we could do with some rain - the butts are almost dry.
