I’ve placed a towel over the delicate Cyclamen for the past few nights. Yes, it comes off as soon as sunlight hits the spot, and back on again mid-afternoon. I’m doing an experiment. One other Cyclamen remains uncovered. In fairness, it looked drab even before this cold snap.
A neighbour’s outside tap burst. This towel may help mine. Either it will or it won’t, as the fella says.
After breakfast the glasshouse was barely above freezing. During the night it dipped below. There are pots of Lysmachia that are still frozen. My work may have been in vain. No actually, work isn’t in vain when I learn from it. 🤔

Yes, rain and milder temperatures from SW arriving tomorrow afternoon.

It must be a shock for your plants if it isn’t common to get a frost. We have a special tap for the garden…. when you turn it off the water in the pipe retracts automatically so there is no water in it on the outside to freeze. A necessity here as we get it much colder than you!

Never experienced extended frost for 10 days where there’s no thaw during daylight hours.
I’d definitely not like to be an outside tap! 🤔 although yours sounds good! German engineering!
Rain, damp & SW wind on the way this evening. Undecided whether I like that better, but plants will delight in it.
