What a cold night, they forecast -5 on the telly but Met office said only -1. I covered up what I could just in case. Just as well I did, it was -5 outside and -3.8 in the gh, my experiment with the spare toms in the new gh has failed they couldn't cope with that temperature even with several layers of fleece, I fear they are well and truly frosted. Luckily the ones in the old lower gh survived. The toms were surplus to requirements but it's still sad to see them succumb. I am pleased I managed to cover a clematis with masses of huge buds, in previous years a hard frost has killed off all the buds, but not this year, so that's my happy for today.
