We got to the allotment as the rain started so couldn't do any work except water (sound sill I know but it has been dry for a long time especially in the greenhouse). We did the usual full inspection and were shocked to find that it was a lot colder than we thought over the last few nights and the potato shoots had been blacked by frost. They will recover but will be a bit late this year.
I hear on the grapevine that Kent was hit as well and it must be unusual for The Garden of England to have frost in May.
Before you ask, yes the grapevines were cut back by frost as well.
I have just found out that aparently London was colder than Moscow, Prague, Copenhagen or Stockholm on Tuesday night!
