Lovely and sunny here, just planted out my bedding plants in my hanging
baskets, petunias, and pansies, and hibiscus, Strelitzia is just coming
into flower (yes I had to buy one) day temps are around 20, and night
time it gets down to 15.

Still no frost here. At least, no sign of any frost damage whatever. And
at 6.45am it was remarkably warm.

I didn't see any frost, but the when I went down to the allotment late
in the morning, I found that flowers on the Anoda cristata appeared to
have been frosted.

Nor here. Just galeforce rain. Did some potting up (in drizzle during
a brief lull). Plotted clearing space in J's workshop, as indoor potting
area.

And I left a pomeranate seedling out last night to the tender mercies of
-2°C, and it seems OK.

No frost in Plymouth, at least not if my nasturtiums have suddenly become
hardy - they're still blooming.

You're probably a bit closer to the sea than we are! We're only about 3
miles from Dartmoor. The frost wasn't severe and doesn't seem to have
harmed anything but we did cover that lovely deep red nasturtium which we
had in a big Ali Baba pot and which just flies out of the nursery in spring.
I can't recall the name exactly - something like Red Velvet? I know it
doesn't set seed at all well and we like to try to get it to make nice big
clumps for us.

None here, although it did drop to 4C last night. It fell rapidly to
6C earlier on tonight, but has since risen to 8C with cloud cover.
Good job too - I've got Nerine flexuosa 'alba' out in flower ATM.
This is spectacular with glistening white, very crinkly-edged petals
that go brown at the first hint of frost. The utterly fabulous Scilla
maderensis is also on its way to flowering, so no frosts welcome here
for the next month!

Glad your Scilla is doing well - we're not risking ours outside, I can tell
you!

Hermine Grashoff - a fabulous nasturtium. It was called Red something or
other and heaven only knows what possessed someone to turn its name into
Hermione Grashof. But it's outstandingly good, IMO.

The one you gave us is sending up flower spikes, safely in the Conservatory.
Amazing the transformation, the leaves over summer are rather less than
inspiring then suddenly up comes all the new growth.
