    Did yours survive?

    After looking at last nights forecast, I moved all of my seedlings from unheated to heated GH.........Thank goodness I did..........-4..........I am more interested if you had seedlings that were left out in unheated conditions & have survived. It will help me decide what to leave out.

      Mine were fine in the unheated greenhouse, but I'm down south which probably makes a difference.

        Sorry about the low temps, you seem to have something nearer to my night-time temps. Two nights ago it was still -10C, last it was 0C First night since winter started that I haven't had minus temps. Dare I say Spring is round the corner

          Although my kitchen looks out straight onto the greenhouse, I've not even looked in it yet. Need more coffee.

          I saw yesterday's forecast for today which said 'sunny'; so I though 'eh up - this means no cloud, which means all the day's heat disappearing into the ether - so put another blankie on the bed. Seems I was right.

            You could be right, FF. My brassica and leek seedlings have been in the unheated gh for a couple of weeks now, surviving -1 and -2C, but yesterday felt like spring over here on the west coast. There was even a midge! Cloud last night so we stayed above freezing, thank goodness, since I had potted on some shrubs and perennial flowers and given them a good watering!

              I'm beginning to think I had better move up North.
              About 7am today the temp in Bridport was -8c . Even now it is only -3c and in the slightly heated ghouse only 12c. What is going on

                  Last year I left aubergine seedlings in an unheated greenhouse with a hard frost and the door open! Although many folk on here thought I had done for 'em they miraculously survived and did well. Wouldn't reccomend it though!

                    Mine are going outside in the day [when I'm here] and back in each night; soon it will be outside day and night.

                      This weather is doing my head in. I have frost on the grass & because the GH is in direct sun, I have had to open the door.........Thermometer is reading 35 degrees Centigrade...........

                          mine are on a windowsill. It gets the sun during the day and the kitchen has a radiator which is on in the evenings. But no heat at night. and they are doing well.

                            -5 in my greenhouse last night - even colder outside! I have several varieties of round-seeded peas in there coming through. They are tough as old boots. I've also got a couple of shrub tubs with spuds in but as they haven't come above the soil yet they are ok. Also got broad beans there. All fine. The peppers, toms and chillies are there now but come in at night. I put them out early on and it was already 12 degree. Actually, I maybe ought to go and see if I need to open the door.
