Look at the weather forcast for the next five days, Kidsgran. If it is forcast to stay above freezing over this period then I would suggest giving the pots a small amount of water. Make sure that the compost is fully thawed first, though. We have had similar freezing cold nights ovet the last couple of weeks but the weather has now turned slightly milder. I intend to water all our pots in the frames and greenhouses tomorrow.

That's surprising Kidsgran. We are only an hour west of you and our pots haven't been frozen at all!

My pots are not frozen either, and the soil in the ground is nice and soft. It has felt rather mild here today.

I have just finished watering our pots that are under glass. I had to use the hose as the rain butt is still frozen!
Happy St David's Day to all of you in Wales. I just hope that the party spirit has left by the time you come to Murrayfield a week tomorrow!!!
