There was no frost, and the outdoor plants are still flowering and setting
fruit!
Now watching the 'ripening race' between picked and unpicked tomatoes and
the unpicked seem to be winning.
So I will persevere with the outdoor plants until they get hit by a frost.


Where do you live? Here in suburban Surrey we have had enough frost to kill
the Pumpkin, all the Toms are badly frosted.

I wonder if we are in for a cold winter. The frosts seem to have started
earlier.


I know that a couple of weeks ago it was snowing on the M8 outside glasgow. I
think that was some kind of record for these parts.


The Friday before last there was 3 cm. of snow in Friesland and
Groningen, the first October snow there for more than 100 years.
Today in Zuid Holland there's gale starting lots of the leaves have
gone and it's pouring down.

and Tim Henman is winning in the final in Paris...
