Yep... end of May so what do we get? Frost! A mad dash up to the plot as soon as the weatherman dropped this little gem on Tuesday to batten down the hatches on the cold frame and make sure everything inside got a good watering to get through the next couple of days with the lid down.
Friday saw my return to the plot to open the cold frame again and try to get the rather shriveled plants in there back to life. Another good watering for everything including the rest of the plot which was looking a bit parched.
The cauliflowers I planted out a couple of weeks ago have been decimated by pesky caterpillars (I know it was them as one was still on there tucking in to his tea). I think there's a couple of these plants still in the cold frame in reserve so will have to see how to protect them from these pesky blighters.
The weeds are also coming on a treat so Saturday will be trying to attack them and put weed matting and wood chips on to keep em down.
