Cold Nights.

I keep hearing shocking weather reports of "There may be a ground frost".

I found these old water holders make me sleep easier, I cut the bottoms off of them :-




I also found that the packaging for washing gels are great for any little lettuce and stuff that you may have been hasty with, I put them in the freezer for 1/2 hour and the labels come off clean, I wash them out and use them upside down. These things :-

 

George, dont let the water people know what your doing with their bottles:lollol:

I have a few but I dont think they look very kindly on it.:wink:

 

you can buy bell clotches if you dont have anything else suitable

 

Buy??? wurzel,:D Buy???

 

what a good idea!

 

I have to ask, what's growing in the pots with obelisk on them?

 

I have no idea what they are called, but they grow about two feet high and have yellow flowers, Ill take a picture when they bloom. I tuck them into the obelisks till they are about the height they are at now.

 

Loosestrife?

 

those water bottles make good pots for upside down tomatoes.

 

I thought it was mint :D

 

Still pretty chilly up here at nights .

 

I was too polite to say that!:D

Sounds like Loosestrife though. Very nice

 

Yes, its loosetrife :-) I find if I tuck the blooms in until they are just above knee height the not so strong ones fill out the lower areas and it will be a heap of nice flowers.

Thank you :-D

 

I've woken up exceptionally early today. Just wandered outside to check up on some new acquisitions, and there's frost on the grass! In the middle of May, in London. (outer-skirts, but still).

I'm thinking that this is pretty unusual, yes? If anyone’s got any input as to how unusual, I'd be very interested to hear it.

I think I've picked a bad year to start experimenting with non-beginner plants...

 

It was the coldest May night for ten years, apparently!
