over the last couple of days? 31 degrees :)

Min temp was 3 degrees. Time for planting the spuds and sowing a few seeds, and for paying more attention to ventilation, I think.

the trouble is nothing will like that low a minimum temp! Have you got enough fleece to cover stuff at night, that might help  :unsure:

Make sure soil temperature is over 6 for success with early spuds...good luck :)

Yes, I already had fleece over the bed where I'm going to put the spuds, and I'll put it back on top when they're planted. I should get away with some early mangetout and stuff like radish, spring onion, lettuce. And after the next couple of nights, the long term met for this area is pointing at warmer, wetter weather from now on.
