    Cold and crisp with a frost here this morning, but glorious sunshine as well - not a cloud in the sky Lovely! Glad I brought the seedlings in though.

      No sign of frost here at 8:45 this morning. It's possible that we got some and it disappeared before being hit by direct sunlight, but unlikely, and it didn't even feel particularly cold when I went out to remove the tarp from my raised bed.

      Netweather still says it hit -1 but I'm not so sure it did. Tue/Wed, Wed/Thur and Sat/Sun are now the nights to watch out for, after that it should be mild and wet.
      Tried and Tested...but the results are inconclusive

        No frost here either - blue sky, sunshine.
        Drew back the curtains, the sun streamed in and I found myself singing:-

        Morning has broken
        Like the first morning,
        Black bird has spoken
        Like the first bird.
        Praise for the singing!
        Praise for the morning!
        Praise for them springing
        Fresh from the Word! etc

        The dogs put their paws over their ears as usual!

            We had a little frost this morning as well but it soon burned off - bright sunshine all day.
            Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

                Frost here.

                Wasn't I supposed to wait until after the frost was gone before planting outdoors?
                Mostly seeds (though I do have a crop of broadbeans which were planted months ago and are flowering)...

                  Just to give you a heads up, another cold snap is on the way. Down to -3 here from Thurs & over the weekend. Beware.

                    You and your long range weather forecasts!! I saw very little frost, no snow and I filled up the car -no probs. Very sorry for those of you who did suffer though
                    That reminds me, is there still going to be a tanker driver strike? I only watch the good news.

                          hmmmmmm.............if I cover my stuff in the gh with fleece will it be ok to leave in place day and night whilst I'm away . Youngest will splash some water about but won't be there for covering and uncovering day and night. Metcheck says we're in for some cold weather-

                              Tatties are earthed, fleeced and tarped for the night, as we have got the next six nights of 2 degrees C. Broadies and peas take their chances and so will my fruit trees, except the figs who have zip up fleecy jackets
