Was up this evening wrapping fruit trees up. Quiet on site then everyone started arriving they must have all watched the weather forecast on TV!

Well I feared the worst when saw ice on car!!

Got to allotment and fleece was frozen that was covering my mini polytunnels.

Spuds seem relatively untouched apart from one or two. Peas ok to. However fleece that was cover ING peas was frozen and it was touching a couple of the peas which I.hope will be ok.

Quite a frost here last night.  Just gpgoing down to assess the damage.  Though spent some time covering up last night.  A few spuds already had a bit of leaf damage due to forsts earlier in the week,

I don't think peeps round here were watching the news, I was there with my fleece last night on my own,

Pleased to have got my Strawberries covered.  They are covered in flowers.

Cold night here, heavy dew, no frost.

My Que Sera Sera plot neighbours think I'm crazy.

My strawbs are also in flower. I didn't cover them over. Don't think they got frosted. Flowers looked ok this morning so hope they will be ok

Very light frost here in West Cumbria last night, I was the only one down here last night putting the fleece out.



Only one plot holder showed up this morning early enough to wash the frost off, but in general no frost damage here.

Spuds sticking up all over our allotments....... I guess I'm the only cautious person on the site. Yet again I've covered mine with grass mowings.

Many have runner beans out looking sad. Again.... I'm waiting and mine will stay undercover for now.
