Frost obviously overnight, as there was a bit of frost damage as beans, pumpkin and courgettes got a bit frost bitten but not that bad, thankfully. Down to 0.3C.

Looking as though we might be in for a cold summer?
Might be a few of these cold mornings into the New Year, as well 8-o

Light summer frosts are common here in all three months,saw someone's garden today who are about 2kms away,there pumpkins were badly hit this morning,my garden was fine thanks to not using mulch,bare soil stops frost tender plants from been damaged because it releases heat at night
