Yo ALL!
Second question since joining...oh Peapod! nice one for Strawbs advice.
I've got an "Early Purple Sprouting Broccoli" in terracota pot out back,which is wilting in last few days,is this due to the obvious..freezing temps or is something else happening?
Any advice would be appreciated,thanks alot. By the way i find growing Chilli's annually better as well!
See ya'll later

It'll be freezing temps, specially if it's in a pot

Mine looked really manky, wilted, horrible looking patchy foliage but they're producing so don't give up on them.
Mine are in the ground though

I agree
mine look sad and wilting because of the frosts, they are in the ground. One thing you might due is to wrap some bubble wrap around your pots to stop the soil freezing fully, as frost normally only penetrates and freezes a few inches in the ground.

Thanks for the advice of bubblewrapping pots. I have some Mints and Evergreens in pots which have slipped my mind with this quick freeze,nice one!
