Frost

 

We had quite a pretty white lawn this morning!  No damage was done that
I'm aware of but it was very cold.  Cloud cover now so we have to hope
it stays that way from the garden pov. 'They' were saying that it's
possible it went down to -6C in places.  I hope Cornwall didn't/doesn't
have a repeat performance of last year's weather behaviour, though it's
probably a bit early to know yet!

Air temperature went down to -3.5deg C here in Oswestry, N Shropshire,
but we are on a bit of a hill so would probably be colder further down.
 The lean-to conservatory had it's first real temperature test  last
night, temp only went down to 7 deg C. Plants are happy,  fuel bills
reduced :-)

Believe it or not, even after the frost we had here last night, when I went

I'll post a piccie later.

here it is - one flowering strawberry plant amongst others planted around
the base of a Camellia shrub.

Minus three C. in my Cheshire glasshouse last night.
Zapped the tom plants  but leeks and other thickwalled stuff just fine.
