I've got nothing to cover. Have I done something wrong?

[hindy]

Grrrr, Metcheck says -1 and bbc says 5
What do you go with.

[mumofstig]

metcheck have been right for me. But personally i'd always play safe and believe the lowest
Even our local news covered all it's options, said temp of 5 but isolated frost

I seem to spend ages in the morning lugging pots out of the greenhouse before going to work, then at work unwrapping the spuds and opening up the mini polytunnel ... and then the revers at night  No casualties so far. Last night it was so cold here at midnigth (yes, I was out with the torch hahahahaha) that you could see my breath in the air    and this is supposed to be a warm part of the country 

Don't take any chances out there guys  --  (Torch optional  )

i've stopped worrying about frosts here in spain (although we had some heavy ones up until february), but it hailed here thisafternoon! i rushed out and covered my tiny carrot seedlings but there wasn't much i could do for the tomatoes or potatoes. luckily it wasn't too heavy in the end and they all seem ok, but it just goes to show, just when you think spring's finally properly arrived....

Hi Filly and welcome to the site 

Whereabouts are you - that can make a difference to the advice?  I'd suggest you edit your profile to put your location in there.

Also, have a look on metcheck for the forecast for your postcode.  If it's forecasting under about 5 or 6 degrees then there is a risk from frost.

I would try and cover as much as you can that is outside or in the unheated greenhouse.  Newspaper will do if you have no fleece, old compost bags or old net curtains.  Basically anything which can create a micro-climate and protect.

As for sowing, I'd leave it a couple of days and see how your plants are doing - if they don't look well, take a piccie and post it on here for us to have a gander at

i knew my ikea wardrobe packaging would come in handy...that's the spuds covered

had a quick slug check as it's just going dark but not a single slug in sight, do they not like the cold nights ?

Just got in from work and re-checked Metcheck and they have now decided +2c instead. Will still be fleecing up though.
