      greenhouse went down to 6C last night, a lot more than the 2C I was expecting. All the plants were snug in their fleeces and the paraffin heater working overtime.

      Hopefully that's the worst of the weather out of the way now Rock on the bank holiday weekend

        Knowing my luck it will just rain all over the bank holiday- it would be typical of the weather as i want to sow even more seeds over the weekend once i've got more containers.

        Fingers crossed for a good weekend

          My lot all seem to have made it through the night unscathed thanks to the paraffin heater and a couple of layers of fleece on the tatties. Phew!

            My arms are toning up nicely due the constant lugging of tomatoes backwards and forwards to the greenhouse (at bottom of garden hurumph) and back in again each night. I hope they're appreciating the love I'm giving them

            Everything else though is generally doing okay with the cool temperatures each night although the chilli peppers which I have forced myself to leave in the greenhouse due to space restrictions due get a lovely warm net curtain coat each chilly night Awwww

              I've been lucky had a frost a couple of nights ago AND my toms, chillies, aubergenes and beans were all on the deck hardening off. I was soooo lucky (sheltered 3 sides) but my mate up at the farm lost all her toms

                That's a shame- so easy to get caught out by the frost!

                Is she going to plants more toms? Should have enough time shouldn't she?!

                  Probably - knowing Sarah she'll just go and buy a few tom plants at the garden centre now
