The two nights of frost that we got last week have put an end to the growth of everything in this bed.
The ears of sweetcorn look good ...
... but are quite small ...
... and none of the kernels have had a chance to grow, even if they were pollinated.
The courgette plants have been badly hit by frost, but most of the fruit is still edible.
The larger outer leaves have been affected by the frost the most, with some of the inner leaves escaping damage. There is a chance that the plant could regrow and continue to produce fruit ...
... but we decided to pull up all of the plants in this bed to make room for some overwintering garlic and onions.
