lord_seagrave Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Apologies if there’s an easy internet resource that tells you this, but I canning now remember when we last had frost here (in Milton Keynes). Spring has been so mild, and I honestly can’t remember a frosty morning in April. Only curiosity, really, sparked as I’m hardening off squash seedlings ready to plant into the allotment this weekend. Last year I sowed them indoors far too early and they were a tangled mess (and about to flower!) by the time I actually managed to get them outside. However, I’m wondering when the earliest I could have planted them outdoors might have been... As I said, just simple curiosity, rather than anything else, I doubt I’ll start any earlier next year!

Walker570 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) My 2017 diary tells me we had one on the 10th May 2017. Have ot had one here ...west Leicestershire ... for about 4 weeks and then only a slight air frost putting a coat of ice on the Landie's windows just on one side . We sit at about 330ft above sea level and I never put soft plants out before the end of May although all of my dahlias are well up, so fingers crossed. Cougettes just pushing through but have some cloches to put on them. Edited May 13, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 Sunday morning here, made it a crunchy old roe buck stalk, not helped by bumping some fallow that went crashing through the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
