I am presently watching gardeners world and Jo swift said that the danger of frost was now past!, as i am looking at SNOW on Elerkin the large hill in front of my house.
This country's great last week i stayed at home and had a summer to rival the south of France today we are back to an English January. Will my plants really cope with these two extremes within 24/48 hours ??
It looks really strange with trees in full leaf and snow on the ground unfortunately my camera battery is flat. so i am willing it to charge up before dark.
I'm growing peas for the first time and being busy and all i left my raised beds of vegetables alone for a few days and today i went back for a bit of watering and i noticed that my pea plants that are about 10cm tall were all twisted and curled agains't each other.will they die like this??????should i provide each plant with support??????please advice thank you

Poor you! No significant hail damage this year, but on occasion in the past. I suggest you try to remove anything seriously damaged, then gove everything a feed and hopefully most of the plants will rgow out of the damage.
