Oh no! I left tender plants outside in the frost. Will they survive?

  • Oh no! I left tender plants outside in the frost. Will they survive?

    Am kicking myself.

    I generally put my cucumbers, tomatoes and courgettes outside for a few hours a day and bring them in at night. They are in a very sunny but quite protected part of the garden and I tend to find this produces hardy plants that are not too shocked by the harsh conditions on my allotment.

    Last night I forgot to bring them back in and I'm pretty sure we had a frost (in Cardiff if anyone knows for sure).

    Do I need to replant? Its not the end of the world if so-they were mainly cheap wilkos varieties and had only been growing about 2 weeks. But want to get onto it asap if so.

    Thanks for all thoughts!

    I once left the greenhouse door open in a frost. The aubergines looked very sorry for themselves and some people said they were gonnas. They picked up with some warmth indoors for a few days.

            re: your cucumbers

            I left an early cucumber in the unheated conservatory by mistake last month.
            It drooped.
            Atfter 2 days of TLC and warmth it rallied.
            Then suddenly died.

            Enjoy your seed-choosing!

            [like davyburns i am happy to share seeds if that's allowed- have marketmore 76 cucumbers and mini white cucumbers.]

              I have some Armenian Yard Long, and Some Wautoma. There is probably some Telepathy there too, but I cant be sure
              Not sure what tomato seeds or corgettes I have but if you tell me what you want, I'll have a look
