Just been up the plot and covered my last few little gem lettuce with fleece. Hoping to pinch a few more pickings for a while
Definitely, and Met check says for the rest of the week... finally som ethings will go dormant... weeds hopefully.
;D
No frost here last night, but it's been chilly and clear, so it's possible tonight.
Went over this morning and everything white, will have to see what I can rescue this weekend.
Had to have the heater on in the bathroom this am!
But nowhere else as yet.
We had a hard frost last night (Weds) turned 25 year old heater on in the greenhouse after a dose of WD40 going well.
Went down the lottie this morning, all white and crispy.
Is spinach and chard frost hardy by the way??
you'll soon find out ;D
they tend to look a bit sorry for awhile but then pick up again and should be ok
Too late for some of the spinach - ate the smaller ones yesterday. Ymmmmmm.
anyone hit freezing yet?? lowest so far 1.8 wednesday :-\
We had a light frost last night, I'm expecting another tonight.
It was -1.5 according to the car at 0545 this morning, everything did look nice and white, looking out of the window now it looks like its going to be another cold(ish) one tonight.
Regards
Matt
I can't actually see any frost out of the window this morning, so we may havw got away with it. I'll be going to the allotment later so I'll see.
