For a few years now, Ive been caught out planting things outside only to have them attacked by a late frost. The local unwritten rule in these parts is that you dont plant anything outside until the latter part of May. Trouble is that by the end of May all the plants have been snapped up at the garden centres by people with polytunnels a d greenhouses!

Hard frost her in Anglesey too. Quite nice and warm by 9am though and not a breath of wind.

Minus 2 near Oxford as well. Lovely and sunny now though and the blossom doesn't seem to have suffered.http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/Smileys/default/smiley.gif

Nothing in Shropshire at 11.43 last night when I went out to bottle feed my kid.  If there was one this morning it was gone by 9am when I set foot outside.

Yes - I went outside at about 2am and it was quite mild but by the time I went out again at 7am there was a frost.

Really worried about our plum blossom, we've not bought a bottle of wine in 2 years since hubby started brewing up his own, fingers crossed we don't get the terrible fruit harvest we've been warned about.

 We had 5 days of cold wind, now raining and cold but at least no wind. Very depressing after all those warm days.
