Put your long John's on Piglet and keep cosy.
Tip for newbies - buy a couple of max - min thermometers and hang them in various places in the garden and in the greenhouse if you have one. A lot of people don't pay much attention to temperature when they don't garden, but then it becomes important. Several thermometers wil let let you see where the sheltered spots are in your garden and where those little frost pockets are.
And remember that any reading below 4*C is liable to produce frost although freezing point is 0*. This is because official weather recordings are taken at 1.5 metres from the ground and it can be much colder at ground level, therefore producing a ground frost - and that's where your plants are.
Fleece will give you protection from a couple of degrees of frost and is well worth using.
If this saves even 1 wee plant for somebody - that's good.
