It's that time of year again when I think it's always a juggle carrying things out by day and back into the house at night, this method obviously has a cost but I'm finding it is so much less stressful and much less effort.
In the last few days due to the low freezing overnight temps I've been using fleece and an electric heater with a frost setting to keep the temperature from doing harm. (Though I don't think it was needed last night.) Thankfully it seems to be keeping the plants ok. I have pretty much all my peppers, chillies, my overwintered plants, early tomatoes, tomatillos and a few other frost-sensitive plants all in the greenhouse. The spring-sown Chillies and peppers are in a heated propagator so they are ok, but the cherry toms are planted out in the border and would be at risk. They had a slight touch of cold last week with a couple of plants with some floppy leaves, but seem to be holding their own.
For not so critical plants, eg potatoes in tubs I've been doing the normal covering them with fleece and all are look well so far.
How's everyone else managing?
Fleece around the outside and over some things, heater in the middle
