From the replies so far, it seems that such an event although very rare,
is not unprecedented.
I hope the sequence comes to an end next month though, I would like
some warmth now!

Too right! Warmth is needed.

My tomato and cucumber seedlings in the greenhouse were doing fine until
about a week ago, but those cold nights have changed everything and they
are
looking very sorry for themselves now and have stopped growing, especially
the cucumbers which are suffering from leaf curl due to the cold.


Perhaps you sowed too early?

What a difference to last year! By now I was having to put the toms and
cucs
outside because they had taken over the greenhouse and I needed the room
for
other stuff.


But Nick, this April is much more normal as regards temperatures, I agree a
bit on the chilly side. You might have to get used to it though! Last year
was exceptional, not this.

Haven't done any sowing yet outside, but next week will be fine, plenty of
time!
