Pls be aware that most of uk will have a frost tonight - if you have any tender plants outside then cover or bring them inside

Bu*gger, now I'll have to go out in the dark!! But thanks x

[Quassia]

Really! Thanks Tony. I planted sweet peas out on Sunday & two hanging baskets. Now what do I have to cover them up? Grrr!

[Barmaid]

I've just been out and shut the polytunnel - I've a few outside but I think they are hardened off enough now. I haven't covered the bloody spuds and beans though so I might be a bit upset tomorrow!!!!!

[steg]

mine are tucked up in their duvet

[Quassia]

If I may say, you're looking too smug steg ;0)

[Quassia]

Like your reasoning Trimer!

[Barmaid]

That one plant could be scarred for life now Trim! Fancy him being forgotten.

[Quassia]

Yeah! It's growth will be stunted ;0/ lol!

[steg]

i'm as smug as a bug in a rug, thankyou

[karenmac60]

Nowhere to put them, nothing to cover them with - if they're dead in the morning they can be replaced.

[Quassia]

Going out in the dark now with my top of the range frost cover .. bin bags .. Grrr!

[Chaffinch]

Double bu*ger, just been out and covered everything, THEN checked the weather forcast 7 in hants!!!!!

[Euphemia]

Minimum 5c overnight in North Kent according to BBC, does that mean there wont be a frost here? What does the temp have to drop to for a frost?

[Quassia]

3c here and predicted overnight frost.
