      • Think i'll give the greenhouse a good clean out whilst its nice, and then put my tomatoes into there final spots in the grow bags, it looks like the weather is going to be ok until the chance of frost has past, and it wont cost too much to heat the greenhouse if we do get a cold spot

        I think the toms will get a nice headstart in the nice weather where going to have in next few days

                              • I intend heading to plot today and earthing up spuds that have shown above ground and covering stuff in my greenhouse with spare white polystyrene underlay left over from laminating.
                                Cold and frost forecast for the next couple of days and a bit of extra insulation will hopefully save my indoor plants.
