Thank you so much everyone,
firstly I must say Kristen as soon as I saw you photo I thought the same as Aidy LOL too much time spent in colleges with some rough youngsters!
All your suggestions make sense, I am just too inpatient.
I don't think any of my plants suffered from frost, I just think I pushed them too hard too soon.
I will start all the clean up jobs as I have dug beds and patches over, so after a clean up I might just try some chilis and peppers at the weekend, just a few, LOL, and see what happens
Thanks again folks
I really appreciate you experience
