Widespread ground frost predicted, with air temperatures going to -2°C

Just in case anyone's not heard the weather foretaste.

(Just brought in the potted lemmings...)

Thanks a bundle. I'd not heard it when I planted out over 100 veggy
seedlings on Sunday. Is that Sod's Law or Gardener's Luck?

At 7.0 this morning, got up looked out the window. Beautiful sunny
morning, lovely white frost everywhere, oh dear my poor potatoes. Just
South of Stoke on Trent. (North Midlands for the geographically
impaired. :-)

So it was *YOUR* fault...

(I don't think we had a frost, or much of one, anyway. There was nothing
like one at 5am)

I overwintered dahlias in the ground for the first time ever ( with a
thick compost mulch over them). They're sprouting with abandon now and
I'm having to go out and cover them up every night. No casualties as
yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Be a nuisance if they've
survived a winter in the ground and get nipped now.

;-(

My plantlings had their heads bowed first thing this morning, but they
picked up in the sun's warmth. They will survive, they will thrive, grow
and crop, but with a set-back at that tender stage, they will probably
be retarded for the rest of the season.

We had quite a thick frost in Aberdeenshire this (Wednesday) morning.
One of many just recently :-(

Some of my runner beans survived in the ground over the winter of
2003/4. I wouldn't expect any to have done so last winter, had I left
them in.

Latest forecast speaks of the risk of frosts until after the weekend,
now. I'm glad the runners are still growing inside...

My neighbouring allotment holder lost half of his runners on Wed night -
quite dead! A lesson to remember for next year....
