Well its not as bad in midlands as its in north, but night time
temperatures may touch 0 degrees according to the forecast, should I get
my newly planted (2 weeks ago) straberries in hanging baskets, sweet
peas and broad beans in pots indoors/ cover them with plant fleece or
will they be alright left outside?





" Oswestry, N Shropshire" the lowest external air temperature I
recorded during last night was 1.4 degC at 07.30 this morning.
Sorry can't advise on plants, but if they are precious, play safe by
bringing them in to a cool room overnight, put them out again when temp
rises and wind reduces.
