Frost
« on: March 21, 2009, 06:54 »
Who else had frost last night? I put my plants in the garage over-night but when i got up this morning the garage door was wide open, i do hope the plants are O.K. I put them on top of the freezer,  hopefully the heat from the motor gave the a bit of protection. I'd be so fed up if all my little cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, and sweetpea plants were lost.

There is no better show of antisipation than a man sowing seeds in a field.

I've just got up & the cars & grass are white over.

Not got much in the greenhouse, but do have a little heating to keep the frost off.

Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Had to de-ice the windscreen at 6 this am - and widespread frost too.  Sun out now - looks gorgeous! (I'm stuck at work!)

frost this morning when i let the chickens out at 6:45 but it had all gone an hour later when i got up properly.
everything's inside anyway - i put the salads on the table last night so that they weren't near the window (just in case) but left everything else on the windowsill. (nothing else has germinated yet)
