When? Shall I run out with my fleece?

 - I just sat down so comfortably -

[mumofstig]

Monday and Tuesday nights looking to be very cold (minus temps in some places) on the forecast charts, so have your heaters or extra fleece at the ready.

I ditto that Mick.

I really hope it doesn't happen, but I'd much rather be prepared for a hard frost, than have seedlings/plants ruined if it does.

Each to their own.

I agree Mum, best to be safe than sorry, just because I don't think it will happen, (here, that is), doesn't mean I won't be taking precautions.

What chance runner beans planted out? There are some on our allotments!

My runners are out and quickly gained a polythene tent after the countryfile forecast !
Min temps have been down to 2° recently .
Hoping the shelter from garden walls will make a difference.

I'd say, close to zero. I don't understand, why people are doing this. You can get so many green beans from a May-June in situ sowing that it comes out of your ears.

I'm now faced with the prospect of trying to fleece my small Apple tree. The blossoms just opening.

My beans are still in their pots inside, ,
