Just wondering, if it frosts whilst my plants are still budding, will it kill them? will I have time to harvest them before they die? Because the first frost in england is in a month or less, and i reeealy dont want my plants to die, but the buds are still really small.

They can take a light frost. If there is a call for frost you can also cover them and this will keep the frost off them. Let them go as long as you can and keep an eye out for a heavy frost.



Good luck.

If you know it is gonna frost you can put a garbage bag over them over night and this will help it hold its heat. If it goes below 55 degrees it will stress the plant and below 35 degree (fariheight) it possibly could kill the plant. Putting a thick layer of mulch will help keep the soil warm. But if you can (privacy permitting) Find a big bad to put over them. This works well. But be sure to take it off as early as you can the next day after the sun comes out.
