Worried about my tomaotes now. :(  They are in grow bags all over the garden.  Lots of them are still green.  Should I just pick them all today and put them on windowsills?  Somewhat strangely I have 2 strawberries and 3 more flowers on one of the runners.  I have cloched them in the hope for a cheeky little treat in a few weeks! ;)

I'd cover them with fleece for a while as the weather is supposed  ::) to turn milder again in a few days so they should be ok to grow for a bit longer.

I can't believe you didn't read the end of page one and the beginning of page two of this thread, where the question had already been asked & answered! :tongue2:
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

That's not really a forecast based on current data, but an average date based on data collected over several years.

It's not going to help in forecasting next weeks weather!
