Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies
I was in a bit of a rush yesterday and forgot to put all my tender tomato seedlings back into the greenhouse overnight.... I don't know how bad the damage will be, they look a bit sorry for themselves this morning as I think we had a bit of a ground frost overnight. Silly silly Matron!

I was born 20 yards from our allotment. My parents used to 'dig for victory' and never got out of the habit. I grew up on an allotment, so growing veggies is a way of life. I am also qualified as a dog behaviourist and I have set up my own business, www.blackdogdna.com

Oh heck! Mine got a touch of frost in the greenhouse WITH fleece! One might not make it but I think the rest will. You don't get the frosts as badly down there (- 4 outside, -2 in the greenhouse here on Monday) so I hope they recover.
Watch it tonight though. Sharp frost forecast again!
Mine got mildly frosted inside a mini-greenhouse with fleece, and some of my beans were blasted in the same situation when there wasn't even a frost. But that's what you get when the wind keeps coming down from Greenland!
oh no!!! fingers crossed for you xx
Oh Gosh Matron
You are getting late frosts while we are just having our first (at -2C) for our winter season.
Hope you can rescue some of those tomatoes.
Sorry Matron forgot to log in on that last comment! Must be the cold weather ;)
Oh no! I think I may have lost my cucumbers which I planted out in the greenhouse a week ago, they look very droopy - any ideas for reviving them?
Greenhouse inhabitants seem to have survived OK, so far, but the new potatoes which were covered with two layers of fleece/netting where looking awful when I uncovered them this morning.
Tonight they can take their chances, if they keel over completely I shall dig them up and use the bed for something else.
I hope your tomatoes surprise you with their resilience and hardiness.
