Default Frost!

There's the possibiground frost in my neck of the woods overnight, so I've just been out to wrap up the veg in fleece..

I find the Metcheck site very useful for accurate forecasting

Metcheck.com - UK Weather Forecasts - Live Data - Long Range Weather Forecasts

very detailed & easy to understand - put in your postcode, click - and a very detailed forecast is given.

I find these sunny Spring days can lull you into a false sense of security.....if there's not much cloud it can get very cold at night.

And I also remember about 15 yrs ago having a frost on June 6th......lost all my beans and lettuce that day. Ever seen a grown man cry?
