Re: Frosted potato leaves
My boyf decided to cover up our potatoes with an old duvet this year...did the trick although even then there were some black leaves here and there. I drew the line at a bedtime story though.

I find it difficult to believe we were all worried about the cold not so very long ago ...now we are running around trying to cool everything off!

I don't know where you live Penny, but I wouldn't be too complacent as they are forecasting frost again for later in the week, certainly for Scotland and maybe further south.

Re: Frosted potato leaves
Im in south Wales so apsolutely nothing taken for granted here,,especially where the small holding is...just one mile from carmathen but in a bowl of hills with lakes at the bottom, even when the rest of the town had forgotten about the ice we still had freezing survival conditions here from the cold lifting off the froozen ponds..floods when others are dry, with a wall of water coming down the hill...I even went to pick my boys up from school in a blizzard years ago...but just down the hill it was fine...if it wasnt for the four inches of snow on the car I would have doubted myself..the school are used to it ...
The trees are drooping with the want of water today.
