Frost is forecast, and it looks as though we will have some seriously cold temperatures in the next few days.
Young seedlings are tender, and vulnerable to the frost.� At worst, they will be killed.� Otherwise the frost will damage their cells, slow down their growth, and reduce their potential. They will not yield so much.
Return on effort is one of our guiding principles - so do not allow the frost to affect potential yield, & reduce the return on all the effort put in so far.

�

Protect the plants by covering them over.� Use

• � polythene sheets
• � horticultural fleece
• � or similar light materials.�
• � in Switzerland they use conifer branches, which are placed over the plants to produce warm air pockets protected from the frost.
