I went to the lottie this morning to plant in some raspeberry bushes, and noitce on the walk to my plot that some people's courgettes looked as if they had been frosted. Not all, just a few. When I got to mine, the courgettes tooked fine, but the sweet potatoes were all wilted and curled. Seems early, but then the garden is untouched, so maybe other years the fields have been caught about the same time, I just didn't notice.

I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

it was down to 4C last night according to the greenhouse thermometer
but I wasn't up early enough to see if it was frosty ....it was certainly cold enough *shiver*
The house didn't start to warm up til lunchtime, so sat in the greenhouse to read the paper this morning
(It's ok, the neighbours know I'm mad
)

Was out at midnight last night (trip to the vets - not partying!) It was 2C in places and when I made the same trip this morning at 8am the fields were frosty in the same cold spot by the river.Comment

My greenhouse temp had gone down to 3.9c and the water on the bird table was froze
so I'm glad I picked my one pumpkin yesterday.

No idea what it went down to last night, but we had a good frost. Very chilly again here, now that the sun has gone down.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
