Leyton has just had several days of frost, and I feel "about time!".
Dorothy next door watched a programme about rhubbarb growers who are having problems because the rhubbarb roots need some cold weather. And I have 3 rhubbarb plants (though one I plan to get rid of as soon as I decide what I want to put in its place - it goes to seed so quickly).
I believe garlic needs a certain number of cold nights as well, and I have half a bed of that.
I went on a cycle ride this morning with the frost still heavy in the shade and any puddles frozen. As I needed to get back to get ready to go out I only went 6+ miles. The tips of my fingers were just beginning to warm up when I got back and my toes had just got cold!
