With snow due in next week, that should be easy.

Nope, it seems ALL the forecast agencies agree to more snow next week.

I've got everything in the greenhouse and will stop watering now. There is nothing worse than wet cold compost on seedlings Hopefully they will stay at the just slightly moist point until the snow goes away.

We missed the snow in The midlands but temps arnt to good and are forcast to stay low over the next few weeks no frost just close to zero some nights.
Will delay moving anything into the ground for another 2-3 weeks, dont want to be wasting my time.

Frost forecast for here tonight. I planted some stuff yesterday (first of the year) and there's a couple of things that had sprouted before they went in (horseradish and a few garlics) have 'leaves' above ground. I've got some fleecey stuff I might pop down, but was thinking of just putting some pots over the greens to protect them.
That should do it right?
