Tonight & tomorrow night (10th & 11th)
Widespread ground frost predicted, with air temperatures going to -2°C
Just in case anyone's not heard the weather foretaste. (Just brought in the potted lemmings...) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

Thanks a bundle. I'd not heard it when I planted out over 100 veggy seedlings on Sunday. Is that Sod's Law or Gardener's Luck? -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

At 7.0 this morning, got up looked out the window. Beautiful sunny morning, lovely white frost everywhere, oh dear my poor potatoes. Just South of Stoke on Trent. (North Midlands for the geographically impaired. :-) |

(I don't think we had a frost, or much of one, anyway. There was nothing like one at 5am) -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

(North Midlands for the geographically impaired. :-) I overwintered dahlias in the ground for the first time ever ( with a thick compost mulch over them). They're sprouting with abandon now and I'm having to go out and cover them up every night. No casualties as yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Be a nuisance if they've survived a winter in the ground and get nipped now. |

So it was *YOUR* fault... ;-( My plantlings had their heads bowed first thing this morning, but they picked up in the sun's warmth. They will survive, they will thrive, grow and crop, but with a set-back at that tender stage, they will probably be retarded for the rest of the season. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

The message
from Jupiter contains these words: I overwintered dahlias in the ground for the first time ever ( with a thick compost mulch over them). They're sprouting with abandon now and I'm having to go out and cover them up every night. No casualties as yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Be a nuisance if they've survived a winter in the ground and get nipped now. Some of my runner beans survived in the ground over the winter of 2003/4. I wouldn't expect any to have done so last winter, had I left them in. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
