22nd June and all courgettes and pumpkins blackened by frost along with recently germinated French beans.! 
The joys of gardening. When Mother nature dictates the rules you just have to grin and bare it!
Anyway, I managed another 1.5 hours on the plot. set up the JT Doves dumpy bag as a compost receptacle and put grass cuttings and weeds in it that I had brought form home. Six bags in all so bag is now 1/3 full. Raked up weeds and swept path adding weeds to dumpy bag also.
Lots of tatties are now up so used grass cuttings around them on the long fence border to retain moisture. Surprised the frost didn't affect them? Did the same on the strawberries on the other plot border. Lifted the cold frame after removing seedlings from it, covered area with cardboard then replaced cold frame and seedlings
Watered stuff that needed it. Did a bit of digging of 'Poppy' plot, avoiding poppy's.
Took piccies of poppies,danmage to cougettes, and some general plot photo's including dumpy bag tied to IBC tank.
