More frosts

Frosts given out for tonight, tomorrow and friday

 

First proper frost here on monday night, none last night, but frost on grass and car windows at 8.30 pm tonight!

 

Here the frost was still on the shaded bits of my garden after lunch when I was doing a bit of pottering. Frost forecast here tonight to -4, but better over the week-end. Brrrrrrr - well it is the time of year for them :D

 

frost up till saturday night on the forecasts I saw Fran

 

went out this morning at 5.15 before i went to work and the temp was -6 :eek: same again tonight!!!

 

Brrrrrrr - this is the time I thank goodness for central heating. Just been out and its freezing hard. But today was gorgeous (albiet cool) - blue sky and sunshine all day. This is when a SSW facing garden and patio doors come into their own - sun may be low, but it shines right in.

Greenhouse heater is getting well used this week. :D

 

Its been given to be with us until tuesday now

where's my thermals

 

It was minus 2 C when I got up this morning, managed to make 7 C by midday.
Most of my tender stuff, bananas etc. look pretty awful now. :(

 

Today the frost didn't clear all day except in a few places - so could only clear a few leaves. I still got a lot to do in the sorting out league, so I took a look at the month's forecast. :(

I shall enjoy the sunny frosty days whilst I can, by the end of the week, its strong northerly and easterly winds and snow on high ground. The good news, after a week of unsettled cold weather, the south westerlys return - now lets see if they're right I hope :D

 

Yes, still going to be cold next week but they have given out rain which might keep it above freezing

My bananas down to one good leaf at the moment Pete

 

Mine are down to no leaves now Steve, its amazing the difference a couple of days make.

 

The frost has left us for now seems we are to get more rain :( I have to say I would rather have the frost any day, the pond,well I say pond its more of a muddy puddle,was thick ice on friday.

 

I woke up on Saturday morning in Barnsley. By heck there was a frost there.

Driving home the temp had risen to 6.5 until I got to Cambridge it as 3, then 8.5 by the time I got home.

 

I love 'the deep South'

 

[Thinks] HA I am so clever I have posted my first pictures...
Here are some of my fuschias on the 14th November:-



They are all in the greenhouse now, cut back. I am really hoping they will survive, the first 2 are cuttings from last winter, the last one is
called 'Voodoo' and this was it's third year, the cutting at the side is 'Bella Rosella.'
If these pictures are too big I will have to find ways of reducing size...
Frost -6c outside greenhouse, but now warmer again, 8c in the garden!
