That’s beautiful Carol, amazing colours.

My Acer dropped all its leaves in the heavy storms last weekend.

I bung mine in the greenhouse over the winter, once it's shed it's leaves.

That's a lovely little tree, Carol. Nice shape and good colour, too.

I had one of the dark leaved ones once, but it was awful for getting scorched in the summer, does yours?

No mine doesn't get scorched. It's a really hardy little tree. I just leave it standing there all winter/summer - no problem.

The tortoise is ornamental. A Christmas present from last year.

Re: My outdoor potted plant...

Hi

My tender plants are now in the Polytunnel for Winter.

I am on heavy clay, so waterlogging is as important as temperature.
