Women in Switzerland didn't get full voting rights till 1971.
Over 40 years later, women still don't have the right for privacy.

Agree with all of the above - plants in containers are more prone to winter damage than those of the same species planted in the ground, but as the majority of yours are hardy, I'd do as Kate and DFA suggest, maybe bubble wrap the pots if it looks as though it's going to be grim and raise them off the ground a touch.

By the description, it's most likely cosmos v. Seashell. I don't know if they come true from seed.

Oh I love them, have them in 2 woodland/ shady areas. One lot gets decimated, the other is untouched. When the vulnerable ones get mangled, I just cut them back and they come up again next year.

My hardy fuchsias are only just coming into flower - lots of healthy growth otherwise. I think it's generally been a naff gardening year.

Solomon's seal is unfortunately beneficial to the Solomon seal sawfly. Which strips it to tatty ribs in short order.
