Hi all
As the title suggests really... Photos below.
I removed runners as they appeared (after having propagated the new plants I wanted from them). I've since been removing shrivelled browned leaves as they turn.
There seem to be larger leaves on the outside, sprawling out, and smaller leaves on the inside, around the crown.
Some of the thoughts going around my head are...
1. Should I remove all of the large leaves now, or am I right to just remove them as they turn brown?
2. Do I need to water them at any point over winter?
3. What about feed?
4. Would some kind of protection against frost be a good idea or is that not necessary in a polytunnel?
Any opinions on these questions or other tips on how to overwinter them would be most appreciated.
Many thanks
