Up here in the North Pennines I have for the last two nights covered all my newly planted stuff, mostly with light packaging material, some with weed barrier, anything to give a bit of shelter! It does seem to have worked in temperatures up to -4C.

Hello, just to say, there isn't a hosepipe ban in the Midlands!

Hi MacMatt. Anglian Water serve my part of the East Midlands in Cambridgeshire, and they have imposed a hosepipe ban. Much of the MIdlands is now under drought order, and everyone is being encouraged to use water wisely to avoid a hosepipe ban being enforced.
