frost

frost last night. properly cold with white sparkly frost over roads and fields this morning. rushed out late in the dark to adjust the fleece over the runner beans and it seems to be paying off - picked some beans again today and smaller ones look ok.
also covered the chinese cabbage - I'm not sure if that will stand frost at all but it's not very big yet so better safe than sorry - and moved the winter density and red salad bowl lettuce to the greenhouse as the drop down plastic flap on the front of the Sten unit has deteriorated and cracked up over summer.
