Nothing lower that 7C forecast for here and then it rises again. Warm group Brugs are getting the chop this weekend and being down-potted before going into winter store. Cold group Brugs will be shifted to sheltered spots in the garden for the winter where they will carry on flowering. I don't think anything else needs special attention although I might give overhead cover to one or two young palms that are possibly still a bit too soft.

My garden is dug up before we got the wet weather. Got some new experiments going off for overwintering.

wo' betide the person who takes 5 day forecasts literally. You should never do so as they are rarely accurate, they're just a guide. Looking at 5 day forecasts probably results in more frost damage to plants than not looking at any forecast at all.

Once I start seeing 0's forcast and minus i'll really panic, but as it stands i'm not too worried by the 5 day now. Going to go another week then reassess

Ours has gone from 3C to 4C tonight, but I'm going to fleece because I think there is a risk of ground frost ... we got a touch last time they forecast 4C a week ago :( and, FWIW :lol:, the 14 day forecast has a min of +5C so might as well enjoy everything a bit longer.

DaveP, which brugs are cold hardy please? And how much cold can they put up with?
I thought they all had to be brought inside for the winter.
