    We had a slight frost last night, and a sharper one forecast for tonight and tomorrow up here in The Lake District, check your forecast and get ready with the fleece...

      The worst is forecast for Sunday night, 0 °C in the nearest town, so it'll be -3 or -4 °C at my plot. I just suspect the Met Office might suddenly revise tonight's forecast down a few degrees at about 4:00 am in the morning in line with actual temperatures like they seem to do a lot these days, and that few degrees can make a lot of difference.

      Had to scrape the car windscreen this morning...I've protected one or two delicate plants for the next few days.

      Think I'll walk my seedlings back indoors from my cold greenhouse, for the second time over the past couple of weeks.

        We had -4C on 5th, and most mornings there has been hoar frost. My Metoffice forecast has been no use, typically we are several degrees warmer during the day, and colder at night (and that's using the extreme end of their new "Max, Likely and Min" forecasts) :(
