I despair ???

Adarby
One growers solution to succes is the other ones road to disaster!
It all depends on so much more is the surronding garden a dry garden with sandy soil or a wet one with clay?
Winter protection wet winters.
There are so many factors that make it hard to get ONE perfect solution.
I do not have a perfect solution. In May I will know if it is good/ok/not so good/bad. I am waiting with some nervousness

There are so many different ways to grow them and the only common denominater I have seen is "well drained".
Hope I were not telling You the obvious things but it is frusurating to try to find "the right formula".
Kind regards
Joakim

Bjarne:
Yes, well drained and shade is imported. Here in south west Norway a problem is that they begin to grow too early. It is no snow cover here to protect them, so when the sun warm the earth in early spring they begin to grow, and they can get damage of late frost. Because that I grow them in a shady places so the growth not star to early.
