First frost
We have had our first frost here this morning (13 November) We've noticed
this year how many of the trees retain their leaves but they'll probably start going now. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

Must get the citrus trees in soon. -- Regards Bob In Runnymede, 17 miles West of London |

Sacha No frost in Kent, yet, but the Dracena is indoors, making a lovely dent in the carpeting... Just dug up and brought all my runner roots indoors. I'll be packing them in dry sand for the winter. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

We gave an outdoor growing Yucca some protection from wind-chill with horticultural fleece because we nearly lost it last winter. -- Alan & Joan Gould - North Lincs. |

Our coldest night so far at +6C, the brisk northerly wind probably prevented a frost. Still quite a bit of autumn colour around.

Frost here in Hemel Hempstead too.
We are 20 miles from London (NE) Tree fern was OK as is next to house Gunnera was affected - have stuck plant cosie on it. See what happens Greenhouse was showing 6 degrees C this morning. Pond pump is still working OK and water hadnt frozen in pond or stream. |
I checked about half an hour ago ,,, at 4.5C it was the coldest so
far this autumn, but no real hint of frost yet. Dave Poole Torquay, Coastal South Devon UK Winter min -2°C. Summer max 34°C. Growing season: March - November |

Cerinthe still loooking chirpy so far. (14.11.04) Hello Jennifer. I was expecting a hard frost last night here in Norfolk, so I dug up all my runner bean roots and took them inside. At midnight the thermometer on my shed had just dropped a tad under zero, and I was feeling pretty pleased with myself - last year I wasn't quick enough and the frost got the lot (including some old friends of some years' standing (I think I mean 'climbing'. [Ed.]) This morning, the leaves on the tops of the beans, where they hung, cut off in their prime (FSVO prime), were only very lightly touched by frost, and the Granadillo beside them (which I had expected to be *VERY* tender) seemed quite untouched. Also brought in all my citrus trees and jalapino chillis. The latter are due for a pruning when all the chillis have ripened. -- Rusty Open the creaking gate to make a horrid.squeak, then lower the foobar. http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |

No frost here in Plymouth, even at 180 feet elevation. Everything tender is
in the greenhouse now anyway. I left a cuphea hyssopifolia out last year and it survived the winter. Acacias seem to do alright here, even Acacia Baileyana Purpurea which is supposed to be rather tender, and the examples I've seen haven't even been sited near a wall. On the downside, it rains an awful lot! Andy. |

Well you and GQT had me out in the garden this afternoon. ;) Decided to move some of the plants in pots nearer the house for a tad more protection then, inevitably, started 'tidying up' and suddenly it was almost dark. :( Hope to get the lawns cut tomorrow - and it was only last time I said to myself 'the last cut for 2004'!
