I can't believe my harden off veg seedlings are under 1 inch of snow. I wouldn't mind but i looked up the BBC weather in this area and it didn't say snow at all here, it just said the lowest temperature would be 0 degrees which i felt would be ok. I would have moved them inside my cold frames if id have known.

I hope thay are ok.

    Actually under a blanket of snow is fine, snow keeps the wind & chill out surprisingly

    Which is why mountaineers / climbers dig a snow cave to protect themselves if problems arise

    Your seedlings should be fine

    Never trust the BBC weather forecast ;)

    It forecast hard frost and snow/rain/sleet showers for us this weekend and, barring a heavy rain shower last night lasting about half an hour and a brief flutter of white dust this morning, we've had blue skies and sunshine the whole weekend! In fact it's a quite pleasant 10C out in the garden at the moment in the sunshine :D

    Oh dear.....Please read my 'gardening in April' thread.....no putting seedlings out till at least the end of the month and pref May.
    Lots of ideas on it as a guide as to what you can/not do, there is one for each month of the year.

    I hope they are OK, if they have gone, don't worry there is plenty of time to sow some more.:D
    And I am sure there are others here who got caught out.

    Good luck
