Widespread Ground Frost!

[selfraising]

OH just came and told me that a widespread ground frost is forecast for tonight! So having uncovered everything today, have gone back out to cover it all up again and it's pretty damn cold out there

[PrideRavyn]

Yes it's predicted to be 2C here, so everything has been covered with fleece (although I always cover it at night still anyway), and keeping fingers crossed everything survives the cold!!

[selfraising]

Me too cos my toms and aubergines are in the plastic gh although they have got several layers of fleece over them

[Bramble_killer]

ok, who's crashed metcheck looking to see if they will be getting frost?

I was contemplating planting outside tomatoes this weekend, looks unlikely now..

[solway cropper]

It's a pain having to fleece things every night but I'm hoping tonight's will be the last frost of the spring. I have 4 rows of tatties well on the way and loads more in assorted bags/containers which all have to be covered. The other outdoor stuff can fend for itself and most seems fine. Toms in the greenhouse are coping well with low temps but I bring the peppers in at night.

Scraped my van of frost this morning up here in Glasgow hoping my courgettes in my plastic greenhouse will survive...

We have had a mild ground frost here in Benson overnight

Cold in Cardiff, but no frost.

We had a light frost this morning.

As a cold night was forecast I fleeced the delicates. However, I neglected my container potatoes. They now stand with about 10" haulm how can I tell if they are damaged.

They'll go black.

According to my min max thermometer, it went down to -3 on the beds last night. But the water outside the back of the house a metre off the ground hasn't frozen.
I didn't get up early enough to see if there was a frost, but everything was well tucked up and seems ok.

Only down to 4C here last night: daytimes are only 7, it's not fun

[Bren In Pots]

My greenhouse went down to 2.6c overnight just got out of bed so not sure if there was a ground frost.

Cold in Cardiff, but no frost.

Aye no frost here either (CaerphillY).

Where abouts are you in Cardiff? We just recently moved from Pontprennau! (Preffed it in Cardiff, but property here is so much cheaper (i.e. house at the top of the road which was what we wanted was 70k cheaper here)

Despite my poor plants in pots being out since early April, Bath has so far escaped the frost. In panic I covered them in carrier bags last night for want of anything else.
