Default Frost

We had quite a pretty white lawn this morning! No damage was done that
I'm aware of but it was very cold. Cloud cover now so we have to hope it
stays that way from the garden pov. 'They' were saying that it's possible
it went down to -6C in places. I hope Cornwall didn't/doesn't have a
repeat performance of last year's weather behaviour, though it's probably
a bit early to know yet!


Yes, a frost here this morning but I got our citrus in yesterday but looking
at the garden this afternoon I can't see any damage to plants. Arum lilies
(Z. aethiopica) are still looking green and Ok as is our banana (M.
lasiocarpa) which I haven't protected yet, best get that done asap as it
nearly died last year.
