Chillis looked a bit unhappy and droopy this morning, so I’ve brought them back inside along with the tomatoes. Showing -1 here tonight, so I’ve dug out a small paraffin heater and put the greenhouse to bed :lol:

Thanks MoS. Have just stuffed some fleece in the tops of the bags containing spuds at home as they are all up and growing. The ones planted on the allotment have not yet appeared above ground luckily.

Temp outside here (South Manchester) dropped to -4 which was much lower than expected, luckily the greenhouse only got down to 4 degrees thanks to the heater and duvets and the tender stuff is back inside for the next few days. Might look at getting a tube electric heater if I can route a cable to the greenhouse as it would save a lot of faffing.

Light frost last night/this morning. Completely missed the forecast and this thread beforehand, planted some early carrot seedlings out yesterday afternoon, but covered them with an enviromesh sheet that was too big so got folded up to make 4 layers. Hoping it provided some frost protection.

Don't forget that outdoor cables like this usually need to be installed by an electrician.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
