Title: Forecast minus 2°C tonight
Post by: Tee Gee on May 10, 2010, 19:52:07
Isn't this weather a pain?

Its the 10th May my planting out date is normally 14th May looks like it will be 14th June this year.

My stuff is around three weeks behind this year is it any wonder when I have to revert to rhis every night;

and as I have said in another thread I have had to move my tomatoes peppers etc back in to my heated greenhouse and turn the heater on again :(

Then elsewhere in the garden you see this;

Hope it doesn't put an end to all the lovely blossom on the trees. :(

I have my coldframe on the patio (flagged)- is it still at risk?

I've fleeced my newly emerged potatoes- but have just remembered I need to zip up my mini greenhouse- night all!

I have bubble wrapped my cold frame all round to allow for the cold.
I even did the lids as the cold gets in there too.

I think that most places should be alright after the weekend, North of the Watford gap may have to wait till after the weekend for the risk of frost to ease.
