Hi

I woke up this morning to find the tops of my early potatoes had been
damaged by the late frost last night. This is my first year of having
an allotment and i am learning all the time!!

There is another frost forecast tonight and i am worried that if we
have a repeat of last night it might finish the potatoes and might also
damage my french beans (dwarf & climbing) and kidney beans

Any advice on how to protect them would be appreciated.......and
quickly!

I am in the East Mids (UK) and the plot is quite windy and open

Thanks

Fabric works better than plastic to protect against frost.
I use old sheets and blankets.
