Reply here when you get a proper frost!

[Yorkshire Kris]

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!

[Conifers]

Had it already, on the night of 6-7 Nov

Same night as here probably Conifers. I was thinking Kris means future.

There is a prize for the last person to record a frost this year!

I better recalibrate my thermometer then, down a few degrees I reckon?

[Tom2006]

We already had one, but can't remember when. Hopefully wont have another.

Had mine last night , can't give you temps but everything that would go dark green and floppy, has.

[pdid]

We had ours a few weeks ago, Ricinus and Basjoo all blackened.

[Arlon Tishmarsh]

not had one yet and long may it continue

[Kristen]

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.

A prize, eh? That's not fair on Nathan

[fieldfest]

-0.8 last night but no frost when i left the house at 8.30
