Soiled Hands by Adam Harvey - An Early Spring in the Garden by Adam Harvey An Early Spring.
Fuchsias are ideal stock plants because they are easily bulked up for containers and mixed planting.
I rank them alongside the pelargonium for versatility and gardener-friendliness. They have pleasing foliage and a diversity of attractive flowers, and I have long since given up trying to memorise their individual names. The biggest advantage of course is the ease of propagation, with cuttings striking with almost embarrassing ease. Generally I use fuchsias as either stand alone specimen container plants or for inclusion in mixed containers alongside summer bedding, which makes them easy to overwinter in their pots in a frost free environment. In March they are transferred to the greenhouse and produce innumerable shoots which make excellent cuttings.
