Some gardens just down the hill from us have turned black overnight,
apparently.
One light frost was enough to see off the top growth of a batch of
Dahlias on the allotment site. And several rows of runner beans are
looking unhappy.

(My one tomato plant hasn't turned black, but it was looking unhappy
even before there was a frost.)

The nasturtiums and sweet potatoes on the allotment, plus the courgettes/
pumpkins/squash plants have all turned into gooey mush. :-(

My neighbours have nasturtiums (Tropaeoleum majus) that are encroaching
on my garden - they've survived 3 frosts so far.
