I've just checked the Met Office forecast for East Anglia and it talks of the possibility of a ground frost tonight in western parts of this region!!!

Don't know about the rest of you but check the Met Office website and fleece your tender plants if you're in the 'wrong area'!!!

    Wonky, you're in a town so I'm sure you'll be ok image I think it's gardens in frost pockets out in rural areas that are at risk.

    Western East Anglia has sandy soils I believe... loses heat quickly overnight?

    Going down to 3 in the north west. I've just spent the afternoon planting all my cosmos and antirhinnums - they've been in and out the cold frame for weeks image

    Thanks for the warning Dove. We have possible grass frost, and there I was thinking it's safe to plant out, 2nd lot of sweet corn went out today.

    Thanks Dove - possible ground frost here so will fleece the squashes and beans.  It's already feeling a bit nippy!

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
