Hi Alice,
I have planted up loads of potatoes which I will need to cover, all of my corn, salads, courgettes etc Do you think brocolli will be ok?
Not worried about the cabbage, carrots, cauli etc After all this lovely sun I have not given frost a thought and I am not prepared!

We get these warnings every year about this time. They rarely seem to come to anything yet (not since global warming kicked in anyway!) except in the very exposed areas. Last year we didn't get a frost of any description until after Christmas which was exceptional and pretty weird really.
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?Comment

I think your brocolli will be OK Mandy. I just hope the forecasters have it wrong and there is no frost. I find metcheck quite pessimistic about temperatures and hope it will be a bit warmer than they say.

I think your brocolli will be OK Mandy. I've checked the forecast on several sites and the forecasters are all over the place on this one. Everything from 12 degrees to minus 3 on offer. I think we just have to hope for the best. Good luck.

Do I REALLY have to start protecting things this early?? I dont have any fleece yet, was waiting for the birthday fairy in october!Life may not be the party we hoped for but since we're here we might as well danceComment

Frost for us tonight apparently. Well early tomorrow morning, when the wind dies down (blowing a gale at the moment). It feels absolutely freezing at the moment, we have wintry showers forecast for later tonight as well and not just on high ground either.
I need to find my gloves and hat and I was sooooo glad I had my boots on today. Definately be packing away the summer clothes this weekend - not worn this year yet! Apparently our top temperature for the whole summer was 16 degrees.~
