Frost Warning - Saturday night

We have a frost forecast for saturday night here in West Yorkshire - its going to be -3C :o That would finish most things off in the greenhouse (and anything not really hardy outside) unless its heated or very well insulated.
Springs not quite settled here yet!

In the Midlands we can expect frost until the end of May :)
Much to early yet to be in the clear.

I've had a light frost every night this week. The wind has now gone into the south and it has warmed up a bit.
I just bring my seed trays in at might so they can warm up, then put them out again next morning. :)

A few years ago we had a frost on June 16th. I arrived to find that one end of a row of toms had been blasted (they recovered), but the other hadn't been touched.

the candle would keep frost at bay in a coldframe, just put a terracotta pot over the candle, and a crock over the hole. you aiming to store heat, not light the place up! ;)

Probably. All we're likely to get now is a likght air frost that's easily kept at bay.

Can pretty much guarantee a frost here in London as soon as our camelia blooms. Last night was no exception >:(
