Do I evacuate my cheapo greenhouse tonight?
« on: March 31, 2012, 20:01 »
So, the weather forecast for Essex is widespread frost falling by morning.  I have one of those cheap 3 tier plastic greenhouses which currently contains tomatoes, peas, cauli and peppers.

Should I evacuate the greenhouse inside or just cover it up with a blanket?

just bring in the tomatoes and peppers - the rest should be ok in a 'blowaway'  :)

I've just spent 3/4 of an hour trying to cover a 12 foot tall round plum tree with a great long narrow length of fleece,  and it's windy, it's not supposed to be windy and frosty ! :wub:

I was pondering the plum tree as mine is in full blossom but figure it will be OK with the cold,  it is more an issue if it gets very wet and windy and all my flowers get whipped.
Thought about the fleece but I only have bags and figured I'd sqoosh the flowers if I tried to use it.
