Snow!!!!! My poor baby Bradlos!

[bradlo]

I hope my seedlings will be OK in my unheated greenhouse, with this cold snap???? ( Toms/Courgettes/Peppers/Beans etc!!
Any advice???? ( apart from heating the G H ...which ain't gonna happen!!!!!)
Ta!!

Best you fetch them all indoors then.

[Potstubsdustbins]

You could try fleece, but even tight old me has lit me lamp.

[bradlo]

are they likely to pop their clogs then ?

[rustylady]

Depends on what the temperature is. Toms, courgettes, peppers and beans need a minimum of 10 degrees to give there best.

[bradlo]

but will a cold snap like this for a few days, be enough to put paid to them ?

[veggiechicken]

My, what an anxious father you've turned into!!
I've thrown fat bubble wrap over my toms and squash in the cold GH. At worst, I have time to resow.

[singleseeder]

Sheets of bubble wrap for me too.

My tomatoes are in my unheated greenhouse on the lottie, there in a blow-away with a fleece and plastic cover on. I'm not holding my breath as they didn't look too good before the snow so they could all be dead, I'll try and get down there tomorrow.

Mine toms are in an unheated greenhouse and each one is under a clear plastic cup (20 for a quid) to offer an additional barrier from the elements. Will have to wait and see if they work. So far it hasn't been that cold here but the forecast for tonight is a low of -2C with wind-chill taking it down to -6C Brrr!

[taff]

probably ok, probably not ok, probably ok, probably ok if they're broad beans, any other type, probably not ok.

[bradlo]

I put a double layer of fleece on them last night...they seem ok this morning!
GH temp went down to 3° ....
Can't believe I have become such a worrier!! Probably because this is my first attempt to grow owt in GH !!!!!!!!!

This is why I don't put stuff in my cold greenhouse at this time of year, it always happends and I can't stand the stress. The only tender stuff I have in there at the moment is some pelagoniums and they'll be fine (and I'll just take more cuttings if they're not), all toms, chillies, aubergines and pepers are safely inside with courgettes and beans (except broadies) still snug in their packets

[Shadylane]

We're spreading the load this year. Some toms and chillies inside day and night, some toms out in the day, in at night and some toms out all the time (in the placcie GH). I chickened out last night and brought the outside ones in, but left the overwintered leggy one and some titchy rubbish ones which obviously aren't going to amount to much to their chances. They were fine this morn. Toms are tougher than you think. I wouldn't leave courgies out there though.

And it is a lot early to be putting tender crops in an unheated greenhouse.
