Topic: Frost Warning - Saturday night

[GodfreyRob]

We have a frost forecast for saturday night here in West Yorkshire - its going to be -3C  :o That would finish most things off in the greenhouse (and anything not really hardy outside) unless its heated or very well insulated.

Springs not quite settled here yet!

I never believe it till after the end of May  :o :o :o :o

In the Midlands we can expect frost until the end of May :)

Much to early yet to be in the clear.

I've had a light frost every night this week. The wind has now gone into the south and it has warmed up a bit.

I just bring my seed trays in at might so they can warm up, then put them out again next morning.  :)

A few years ago we had a frost on June 16th. I arrived to find that one end of a row of toms had been blasted (they recovered), but the other hadn't been touched.

Yes I remember that very late frost Robert :(

I had better get some parasene for my greenhouse heater.

i know its been mentioned before but would a large lit candle do for keeping light frost at bay in a 8 x 6 size greenhouse ???

[tonybloke]

the candle would keep frost at bay in a coldframe, just put a terracotta pot over the candle, and a crock over the hole. you aiming to store heat, not light the place up! ;)

[elvis2003]

ive got bubble wrap over all our seed trays,do you think that will be enough to protect them from the frost,if it comes?(northwest)

[Robert_Brenchley]

Probably. All we're likely to get now is a likght air frost that's easily kept at bay.

[ugly gourd]
