We have taken steps this week to prepare for the frost that has been predicted for this week. Last time, ALL our potatoes got badly frost burnt and some things inside the polytunnel didn't make it. So to try and save all our hard work so far, we have tried various ways to stop the frost getting to the plants to find out which works best for us.
We have used upturned clear yoghurt pots, horticultural fleece and bubble wrap. Plus to really stop the frost getting to the tomatoes inside the poytunnel, Phil made a polytunnel inside the polytunnel!
Our beans and peas went out into the bean trench and have already started grabbing on to the willow to make their long climb to the top.
Much of the rest of the day was taken up by chatting and clearing the polytunnel for next weekend.
