Frost

[undercarriage plan]

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! Lottie  ???

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.

[Derekthefox]

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

So you think I should stop running about like headless chicken, and accept this gracefully? Just one more chilli plant....then I'll sit back and chill....with me chillies.. ;) Lottie

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

[Derekthefox]

Hmmm looks like I might have set a trend here, this might be interesting ...  ;D

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 ;)

[undercarriage plan]

LOL!! I would Redclanger, but the site has already been down once this week......  ;);D Lottie

Nice Avatar Derek!! Is this the friday night Derek?

[keef]

I hope there is a frost - the sloes are looking good, and i've got 2L of gin sitting here ready to go...

[Derekthefox]

Friday, Sat, any night ...

And Red Clanger is asking the ladies to follow suit ...  ;D ;D ;D

Derekthefox :D

Hmmm this is getting off topic ... Apologies Lottie ok?

[Merry Tiller]

Please put a shirt on old boy, you're making me feel decidedly ill :P

[Tulipa]

Brrrr, it's too cold!!


Back on topic, sorry....

If it is going down to 3 degrees C tonight do I need to pop out and get my pumpkins in?

[Derekthefox]

Sorry Merry dear chap, tis Friday night and I have been requested to do a turn ...   :)

I suggest a glass of rhubarb wine might make you join the party !

Derekthefox :D

[Aussie Chick]

Sorry, my fault it went off topic. Although I won't take all the blame Derek!!

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

[undercarriage plan]

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

[Merry Tiller]

Fair enough D. I bet it keeps the birds off your peas though
