I want to plant out some french and runner beans, has anyone else, do you think we'll get a frost?

Just done so this afternoon with fingers crossed!!!

I hope not. I'm putting mine out this week!

DONE It but got some back up ones in the greenhouse just in case!

oh dear, I'm torn - won't be able to get to the lottie for a week - planted out my sweetcorn tonight and fretting about it already.

Planted out a couple of rows of French beans tonight, got a few left over but I think it's worth the risk now be very unlucky to get another frost this late

we had two nights of frost the last week of May last year - got my courgettes

Saturday is the day for planting runners and french.

(Highly unreliable) online weather forecast says it's sun all the way:

Lost alot of mine to the Wood Pidgeon!! Not gud, lucky ive got a lot spare

really, they ate your beans !!!!!! omg. there is not enough net in the world :(

Planted mine out on Wednesday and they’re doing fine. I’m surrounded by woodland and the wood pigeons haven’t touched them – they must have full bellies from the grass seed they keep helping themselves to. :(

planted mine last week and all is good

Mine went in last Friday but they are in huge tubs this year. If a frost is forecast then I'll just fleece them up. I've also planted my tubs and troughs with annuals yesterday.......newspaper to the ready just in case.
Apparantly we might be in for a bit of frost later this week......so watch out.

frost ! oh no. Can't get to my lottie until middle of next week, so I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed

No frost in Sheffield MC55. If you live in Aberdeen, then start to worry. The minimum temperature down here is forecast as 6 celcius.

I do wish that it would rain though.

We put out loads in the allotment at the begining of the month, lost 40 of them and loads of corgettes.

Luckiy we have about another 50-60 in the green house.

Although there is another frost forcast tonight and tommorrow, so I would be careful.

Edit:
Frost for tonight, Wed night looks ok now.

So which forecast said frost for tonight? None of the ones I looked at online seemed to suggest a frost for tonight.

Metcheck was giving a frost warning for last night, a temp of -2, dunno if it did frost last night or not though.

OMG you are giving me heart failure with all this talk of frost ... I thought it was supposed to rain (heavily) on Sunday / Monday in Sheffield - can someone do the rain dance please :)

Didn't look like it was a frost - just been down the plot this lunchtime and everything looked OK. Local forecast on BBC last night didn't mention frost.

Was just trying to rain as well, but not enough to to wet the ground.

Well i'm hoping for a bit of rain, as the lottie is bone dry at the moment.

my water butts are all bar dry too :(

*dances like a dancy thing*

er all it has done here (Paris) since you all started doing the rain dance is rain !!! so can you stop now please :hihi:

That's not going to win you any friends :hihi:

Sorry, I've been on holiday (the Netherlands). It was wet there on the sunday, but beautifully warm and sunny the rest of the time :D
I came home to a jungle though. I'm fortunate to have a good neighbour who will water everything while I'm away. I have to say though, that was a mighty rain-storm we just had :thumbsup:
