it's killed all my runner beans - that will tech me not to put them out to early
. I will do another sewing at the end of the month.

Yeah, they are really sensitive to it Landlubber. I stick to an old routine and don't sow mine until the 1st of May but they will stay in pots indoors for a few weeks if the temps are still low.
I start mine off in modules and plant them out at the end of May. I don't sow direct as the slugs get them before they have chance to grow.
I was surprised to see the lawn covered in frost this morning - south facing garden in East Anglia, most unusual in April.
My sweet peas were fine in a cold frame last night , and we hard a hard frost .
To cold here in the South to plant anything yet. Thick frost this morning 0deg.
Frost wiped out my first ever beans. 1969. Maybe that's why I don't grow veg
In the sticks near Peterborough
I'm only growing runners and parsnips this year, turning over my biggest veg bed to a Salvia Veridiun bed.
i do have a gooseberry plant that Dove kindly gave me, two different raspberries and rhubarb as well, love the fruit.
Yes thanks all - will plant again in May then guys
We plant out Runner Beans late May and have always had a good crop.
