First frost

[Dobby]

well got up this morning to find frost on the cars.
got to go down the plot and see whats what does anyone else think its early for the first frost?

Didn't realise that it had got that close to us last night, according to my outside max / min thermometer it only got down to about 7 degrees but am ready with the fleece if necessary!

No, not that early - our first frost is usually late September here, so it's about right. Bit late even.
I think it's coz we had no proper summer, so it seems too early for frost!

Not quite frost, and the plants are all still OK, but we got down to 2 degrees Saturday morning 4th October. Much earlier than the last two years, but it's warmed up a bit now.
