      I like the Gardenfocused one too - it has my town by name . Have you ever used the planner on there VP?
      I've played around with the planner and it helps suggest what to grow together for a 4 year rotation as well. Pretty handy for me as a beginner. I tend to store my seeds by what needs to be started when... different sections for the months and then the weeks. Always exciting on Saturday mornings, go to the box, what do I get to plant today? Almost like a lucky dip surprise present.

        Campaign won! Not top priority (kitchen roof comes first, darn it) but it's been agreed. I'll have to get looking into how to hail-proof greenhouses...

          First frost last night so earlier than last year ice in trugs, and the puddles on the trailer top. If I'd have realised I'd have covered my courgettes with fleece and at least closed the GH door.

              I also woke up to a touch of frost, I saw it on my flat roof extension from the bedroom window.
              Garden thermometer said 3 degrees.

              I am now grumpy.

                  First frost today. All gone by 08:00. Doesn't appear to have effected any plants.

                    Temp. dropped to 2c last night. If there was frost I was awake too late to spot it. Next 2 weeks are forecast to be +7c at night.
                    Soft herbs are now overwintering in the glass house, and the heavy quilt is coming out of storage and the summer one being packed away. Like wise swapped the sunshine gardening hat for my woolly one, shorts for long trousers, fipflops for clogs/wellies. Come the end of the month I may not see daylight until the weekends as it will be dark for the commute

                      Up too late to see any actual frost, but down to 3C last night here - very early for temps this low

                        Sorry (I've said it in several places, hadn't thought about this thread) - lightest dusting on the tops of the cars here in sunny north london

                          A touch on the shed roof here too. The crops seem ok but the cucurbit flowers copped it.

                              I'm sure we've had a touch of frost here too. I've not been up to the allotment for a week or two, so I don't know what damage it has done. Maybe it's time to do the autumn clearing :/
