Frost alert Saturday/Sunday 4/5th May

Thick frost here this morning. I moved a few pots into the greenhouse last night and covered up my weigela as that seemed to suffer from frost when I was on holiday. Have yet to venture outside to check on any frost damage.

 

No frost here, 5 deg.

 

How very dare you, KFF? Do you not realise that only Cornwall has divine exemption from nasty weather?

 

Newcastle agrees.

 

Oops sorry..... We only get 3 or 4 frosts a year, usually in January ☺

 

it's the same up here as well, 3-4 frosts a year. Ours are July-October, November-March. April-July.

 

I have had to turn the central heating on once the sun goes down. Folks, I often find there is some truth in those old wives tales. Especially with gardening. Never shed a clout until May is out.

 

Or as a neighbour recently ("put me right") because I misquoted it would say

Ne'er cast a clout till May be out'
