Been seeing what can be salvaged from the plants overwintered in garage, in containers. Surprised this French lavender on left hasn't made it; it was under the fleece with the fuchsias, which have all survived. Usually it's worth waiting to see if dead material throws out new growth. This didn't seem likely here. So pulled it up and checked it out. Sure enough, suspicions confirmed. No sign of life whatsoever (left). Hurray for the autumn 'Multi-Plant' insurance cuttings (right). Very often, first impressions prove correct. What's that they say: 'If it walks like a duck...'
