Hi GoY friends .I have got four fushias in hanging baskets which are looking a bit tired so i have brought four new very large hanging baskets for them to go in as the ones they are in it is all just root.Is it safe to transfer them into the larger baskets at this time of year?Thanks mark

No - it's possible that you'll get a frost at any time soon, so it's really time to think about putting them to bed for the winter.

thank you Spritzhenry, oppppps done it , but i was going to move them in doors for winter, hope this will be ok :(( der me

LOL. I've started to move mine up to the greenhouse - I cut them back before frost is forecast and pack them in a box under the bench, dryish. As long as they're frost-free, anywhere will be OK. Indoors? Not too sure about that, to be honest. Hywel is the person to ask about Fuchsias - he has a large collection.

FOUR?? Poor things! Far too many. You'll need to separate them to give the poor things a chance!
