Frost tonight in the SE

I'm in Derbyshire and we'be got a 50\50 chance of frost tonight, taking no chances, spuds have been earthed and fleeced, other tender stuff fleeced and/or moved to the greenhouse

 

Same here fleece and blankets at the ready.

 

Didn't do the Strawberries :( Got to go out now ... might do by torch-light when I return ...

 

The sky has cleared here after a cool, cloudy day and the temperature is dropping rapidly.

Like JWK, I've just been outside on a mission to save my spuds. Rather than earthing up, I've covered them all with whatever came to hand.
A whole variety of receptacles has been pressed into action, including upturned pots, buckets, boxes and even an old tin bath.

The end result looks something like a piece of modern art:





I was getting some curious looks from the neighbours too. They probably thought I was practicing some kind of mad, eccentric spring gardener's ritual.

Maybe it is a kind of madness, but I know I am among friends here and all you fellow gardeners will understand.

 

Frost predicted here in the North East as well but at lest it will keep the weeds down

 

I would of skrink wrapped round it all as well
Ive not planted earlys so ive just fleeced the garden tenders

 

I hate to gloat, but thank goodness for sea temperatures

 

Going to be a chilly one in East Yorkshire....All clochables cloched,fleeced,cardboarded you name it....

......My Strawberrys.....Thanks for the memory jog @JWK

 

Best I don't like any windows when I sleep walk then

 

Nearly 10pm and still 8 degrees, fingers crossed it don't plummet, I suspect it will be near dawn when it will be at its lowest !

 

No licking them

 

See! You knew what I meant even though I made a typo
