Frost damage
We had a 'white out' last night my poor plants didn't like it at all!

The runner beans are not going to recover, I have had to sow another lot in the green house.....

...and the french beans too!

The courgettes are looking sad..... luckily I only put two plants outside.

... and I think the artichokes will survive.
I just hope we don't get another one, May frosts seem to do the most damage.
