    Thick frost here this morning. I moved a few pots into the greenhouse last night and covered up my weigela as that seemed to suffer from frost when I was on holiday. Have yet to venture outside to check on any frost damage.

            I have had to turn the central heating on once the sun goes down. Folks, I often find there is some truth in those old wives tales. Especially with gardening. Never shed a clout until May is out.
