Am I the only one freaking out about the possibility of frost tonight? You all see remakably calm....! I've been ferrying chillies from outside to in, wishing I had more space in the greenhouse, hurling fleece about the place and brought in all the houseplants that were having a lovely hol outside!

Not panicking about frost despite living in Lincolnshire - it will come awhen it comes and all things tender will cease to be.  However, I was shocked to see a short flurry of sleet today.

Calm? yes most definitely. No longer worry about the weather or anything I can't control. Doesn't seem any point. Mind you, thats because I don't really have anything that will be a problem to the frost, and my allotment is a prime target if frost is going to hit.

Look on the bright side, the parsnips will be ready earlier !  ;D

If it's cold - put a shirt on  ;D

PS Lottie - is that you in your new avatar?  Have you considered striking a Derek pose similarly clad?  :o

Just come back from walking the doggies and I was glad I had a fleece on my back.  Autumn is definitely on our doorstep!  I have taken cuttings of most of my plants and the rest will just have to fend for themselves I am afraid.  Keep warm everyone !
 ;D ;)

I was wondering about the butternuts?? but as they are on a vine they are staying out!

Not sure, Tulippa, but I always go into overdrive and bring anything in that may be tender,  so, to sum up, if me, then I would...! Lottie  ;D
