The forecasts say the temperature is about to drop by about 10C before tomorrow. There is a risk of frost for the next few nights, particularly so on Monday night when widespread below zero temperatures are likely 

[Aunt Sally]

Oooo. Chilly.

I must be sure to protect a few delicate plants.

I was just going to open a thread about the same.   For the last 3 days, geraniums, bedding and veg plugs have been outside.     I suppose I had better lug them all into the greenhouse again      Still, it is actually quite early spring yet.  Mrs Bouquet

And this is precisely why we don't sow tender stuff too early.


Or do we?

 i haven't really looked at the long rage weather forecast but we have been fleecing up all the seedlings every night good job someone's looking out for us thanks Mum

[snowdrops]

Thanks mum, spare new fleece cover for the blowaway opened & draped over the top of the blowaway in the greenhouse, that should be ok I hope, only the tomato plants are needing the protection in there I hope.

[Growster...]

One of the zips on our blowaways has bust so the geraniums will have to put up with clothes pegs...

Hey ho...

I have planted my early potatoes last week however they have not brocken through the surface yet. Am I right in thinking its the potato foliage which is killed by the frost and if they are underground still they should be fine.

I was planning to buy fleece but it won't be delivered until the end of the month!

At this time of year they should be fine underground.  Longer spells of deeper frost which penetrates the ground isn't a good idea, but an air frost shouldn't affect them.

[Growster...]

Wise words, Yorkie.

They should be fine, just keep an eye on them, eh...

[Gardener and Rabbit]

...and if the tops are starting to show,  you can draw some soil over them for protection. I'll be doing that with my first earlies.
