HI GUY,WE WERE STRUCK WITH A FROST LASTNIGHT THAT WAS NOT FORECAST


The frost forecast for tonight (Wed 29th May) is widely forecast for Central/Southern /Eastern England the Met Office & BBC web sites. Minus 1 degree C in Mid-Bucks where I live.

I have spent the morning earthing up potatoes, and I'm now going off to mulch with straw/paper and cover with sheets, net curtains, tarpaulins, etc.

Meanwhile ... 600 miles north & 600ft higher up ... our forecast is for an overnight low of 8 degs C.  Bizarre.

Thanks for that I had'nt realised we were due a frost.
Got no end to cover up, Potatos in flower, Corgettes out, Sweet corn etc etc.
Ah well. I've got a roll of cloth the wife was throwing out, that might do the job.
I've used anything in the past.
Rhubarb leaves or grass cuttings, i've used before.
