Time to unwrap your plants again
Time to unwrap your plants again
Well, for most of us in the UK at least. The far South West should be fine, though
Sunday and Monday the temps will be hovering around zero day and night, so I'll want to wrap / cover vulnerable plants on Friday.

Re: Time to insulate your plants again
We've got lows of -4 predicted this weekend
I propose we hire some tugs and tow the UK a tad closer to the equator.

Nearly everything I had in my garage is now outside albiet in a protected position. Bunged some fleece in the top if the Dicksonia antarctica and hoping for the best.
Re: Time to insulate your plants again
Only -1c predicted here at the weekend so far but I'm ready this time.
Re: Time to insulate your plants again
its a night full of stars, no cloud here, and its 1.6oc on my thermometer. Ive wrapped everything to the max.
Re: Time to insulate your plants again
IF the current modelled weather arrives we could be looking at widely below -7C! I'll be covering my trachies and cordylines on Saturday.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: Time to insulate your plants again
ive looked ahead and it could be minus 7oc again in 10 days, but im hoping this is not the case.
Im going to pick up some more fleece i think tomorrow

Re: Time to insulate your plants again
Only a handful to protect. I have far more potted items to return to the greenhouse after airing them outside pre-christmas.
Re: Time to insulate your plants again
All the car windscreens were frozen this morning when I left for work and at 3 o'clock this afternoon it was just hovering above freezing. I only know this as the building inspector came out when we were pouring a load of concrete and he had a fancy thermomoter.

A quick look on weather underground and the 'heat island' effect is quite apparent.

after how long you have been saving so many of those plants in pots waiting for the new house, you must be a nervous wreck having to leave them to the elements now.
