2 degrees Brize Norton - hard frost here.  Lawn very white.  Should have covered my courgettes.   :tongue3:

A crisp morning with the Sun out for the past three hours, better than the wet miserable day yesterday.   :glasses9:
MAY THE CORN BE WITH YOU.

Frost doesn't seem to have been as bad on my plot a couple of miles away.  Only the Yacon showing droopy leaves in places - but most of the plants seem unscathed.

Same here - some yacon tops are frosted.  Squash and courgettes are gone.  Late beans still hanging on.  For once I have been successful with Cobra - and just spotted new flowers!  But they are enjoying the warmth of a compost dalek right next to them.  f

Oca and Jerusalem Artichokes are in flower.  That's a rare sight here.  The outdoor tomatoes that made it through the blight are still flowering and producing, but I am taking off good sized green fruit to ripen indoors, because blight is still around although not as rampant as it is so much cooler.

Yesterday we had inches of rain and it was quite windy and nasty.  OH called it 'soaking rain'.  Roll on the promised Indian Summer  :wave:

First frost of the winter here - my outdoor sensor measured -2.6C and the birdbath had a 3cm thick ice covering. 4C currently in spite of the lovely sunshine though.

Frost here the last 3 days, but no snow. Nice blue skies and sunshine but freezing out of the sun!

Located between Ace and Goodlife, and it is freezing cold and sunny.  Had visitors yesterday and I struggled to dig parsnips, the ground is frozen hard.  All the roofs are white, the sun is so weak and low in the sky.   :wave:

Freezing here- poor daughter had her first experience of having to scrape ice off outside and inside of car before going to work after not using the car for a few days- took her ages!
