After that bitterly cold start on Monday morning it went on to become our coldest October day in 8 years with an average daily temperature of 2.4°C (36.3°F) taking over from 25 October 2010 when the average was 4.2°C or 39.6°F.
Temperature Record for 29 October 2018 - Low Temperature -1.5°C (29.3°F) - Average Daily Temperature 2.4°C (36.3°F) |
Despite the cold there were some decent sunny spells on Monday and, in the afternoon, we headed to the allotment. We'd decided it was time to stop thinking about protecting our carrots and parsnips against any frost and snow and get on and do it.
A couple of bales of straw did the job and our carrots and parsnips now have a nice warm duvet to protect them from any frosty weather.
There's a video below covering some of the other jobs we got up to at the allotments last week.
