Yep!  ;)

Just got back from the plot, the BB's are looking very sorry for themselves, hanging a little limp. They dont like this frost!
We lived for days on nothing but food and water.

Mine are also looking very limp :( first time I have tried to grow BB's we love them.
Hopefully they will make a recovery, I will go and have a chat with them later  ??? ;) ??? ;)
if you want to be happy for a short time, get drunk; happy for a long time, fall in love; happy for ever, take up gardening

Like Rink also in shropshire and mine aren't to keen on regular night frosts, this morning the temp sensor in Mrs Stents car said -9. So off to the plot in the morning to see how they are doing.

Sorry to hear about it.

I've often said that as much as I like peas, the hassle of trying to keep them going over winter is just not worth that couple of weeks for an earlier crop.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
