Reply here when you get a proper frost!
Hopefully this thread wont get many replies for a long time.
Basically state when you get your first frost here.
DEFINITION: When the temp in your own garden goes below -0.5 degrees as recorded on your OWN thermometer. (-0.5 because thermometers can be half a degree out.)
Nathan, I'm not expecting any reply from you this year!

We already had one, but can't remember when. Hopefully wont have another.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: Reply here when you get a proper frost!
Had mine last night , can't give you temps but everything that would go dark green and floppy, has.
Re: Reply here when you get a proper frost!
We had ours a few weeks ago, Ricinus and Basjoo all blackened.

Re: Reply here when you get a proper frost!
not had one yet and long may it continue
Re: Reply here when you get a proper frost!
Had a couple of minor frosts ages ago, nothing since, last night the first proper frost. 0.5C in the greenhouse ... no outside thermometer but car said it was -3C at 7AM
Cannas looking dark & floppy. Dahlias not looking black, but I expect they just need a few more hours.
Still had negligible rain here, so soil (heavy clay) still very dry, so not planning to lift anything until it gets persistently cold/colder or wetter.
