Frost in November

The weather forecast for this morning was "possible frost". So last night the tomatoes were moved back into the greenhouse. I took down my hanging baskets and moved them under the back verandah:

I put upturned pots over all my dahlias, which I optimistically planted out in the garden last week:

This morning at about 4 o'clock, I looked at the weather station and saw that it was 0 degrees outside. I started to worry about all the salvias that have sent up so much new growth this spring. So at that rather ridiculous time I was out in the garden doing this:

Covering a garden bed with 5 metres of fabric!

And there was actually frost, as you can see in this shot of part of the rose garden later in the morning:

But hopefully not enough to damage those daylilies which didn't get any protection.
