      Went for a late evening trip last night to the lottie and covered up the 3 potatoes that had poked their head through the soil.

        Oh I have one casualty, a dwarf french bean that was at the edge of the bed and must have been too close to the fleece.
        Tbh I'm suprised any of the french beans survived last nights temps.

        Please ignore everything I say, I make it up as I go along, not only do I generally not believe what I write, I never remember it either.

          Dwarf french are hardier than runners. I had some shrivelling on the leaves of toms in the greenhouse even though they were fleeced - those closest to the glass. I'm expecting the plants to survive though.

            Thankfully our garden is quite sheltered and I did an evening trip to put things I was dodgy about in the greenhouse. Not sure if we had a frost or not as my max / min thermometer in the greenhouse is fubared and there was no evidence of any sugar coating when I woke up. Had a look this morning and they all seem to have survived OK. Not been up the plot but fingers crossed. There are 4 hanging basket tomatoes in the polytunnel as well as some dwarf Frenchies and loads of potatoes just starting to come through outside. Fingers crossed and all that.

            Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

            Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

              Hi Womble ... too close to the fleece? I'm a novice at this and you've made me think perhaps I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to covering up from frost.

              Can anyone giive me some pointers? I just gently laid fleece over what I could yesterday evening, with my potato sacks getting a newspaper top.

              Many thanks
              Caro
