Absent Gardener

Two of the things Fed suggested do really well here - especially outside over winter..

Sage works a treat and nothing seems to affect it.  Oops that's done it.

By far the best plants to survive all year round are alpines and cacti.  Grown in pots - plastic of course - just move a to sheltered wall of the house in late autumn and they are more than happy to thrive.

Also good plants to take cuttings from or you can lift and divide when they outgrow the pot.
