Philippa, I soooo agree. You wouldn't believe how much of the rain forecast for where we live never turns up. If it's still saying frost on Thursday morning, I'll go into full 'fleece mode', but I'm not going to get worked up yet.
Well I needed to have a tidy up in the greenhouse anyway. Looks like I've extra reasons why so I can put all the tenders in the plastic greenhouse within the greenhouse. I might consider putting a heater in there on frost guard if it looks very bad as I'm not sure the tomatoes will fit (that'll teach them to try flowering so early in the year).
We've had it surprisingly gentle this winter - no snow and very few frosts. I'm sure we'll survive a bit of drab weather!
Remember of course that we're approaching a bank holiday and weather reports HATE getting our hopes up that it might be nice weather!
Oh here we go, what a surprise. Friday's weather which they were saying yesterday would be 1 - 7 degrees has now changed to 4 - 10 degrees. They're already rowing back from the doom and gloom scenario.
Edd, my son says the weather forecast is the same as astrology. Which is unfair if you just take the next 24 hours into account. It is usually pretty accurate by then.

I check forecasts day by day. if it's forecast cold for that particular night I will do something about it
Thanks for the heads up folks - will now know to check the forecasts towards the end of the week. Would hate to lose things at this stage of the year.
