Frost damage.

In future I'm gonna listen to these experienced gardeners who tell us all to hold our horses and not be in too much of a hurry to plant  our stuff out. Our half plot escaped the frost but our other two 5 miles away caught it. Our Bunjy lost her tomatoes, her courgettes and the kids lost their runner beans. Luckily I had sewn some in pots in the GH so they will never know. My Buttercup squash copped it so I will have to put another one in. Next year will you all keep reminding me to wait until June before I plant anything tender out.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Poor people!!

But it's not just you. I'm supposed to know these things, but our Runners got lashed to pieces in the gales & our outdoor Cukes & Courgettes look decidedly sickly - not hardened off properly.

Frost in Glost? We've had it into June. And we've certainly had under 40F in the greenhouse into JULY!!

As Irma said - in Irma la Douce - DON'T BE TOO SURE!!

Or, as Baden-Powell said - BE PREPARED??

My sympathies are with you Shirlton.
The 'frost' seems to have been localised to say the least.
I did go out and protected the outdoor toms. - but they don't look well.
The previous cold days put them back. They will come through, I have no doubt!
