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!

That would keep them nice and warm.

Does anybody know a good site for checking forecasts for frost?

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!
