Catching a chill

I spoke too soon - or did I plant too soon? Last night the temperature in Kennington dropped to around six degrees. The rain I had hoped for swept over without stopping so early morning watering was required and boy, was it cold. I have now replaced the plastic on the cloche although I have to say neither the rocket nor the lettuce seedlings looked any the worse for wear. But I fear those peas might sit tight for a bit - despite the sunshine during the day.

But I spent a chilly evening hour with a seed catalogue - endive, cucumber, chillis, leeks and radishes will soon be on their way, ready for warmer days. How long will we have to wait for the next one?
