Frost

vince g · April 28, 2013

Hi all, I am growing tomatoes in my polytunnel in the south-east of the UK. I planted them out last weekend, but this weekend we had a frost a couple sustained some damage. Some of the leaves have brown patches and some have curled up. Not all plants are affected. I am sure it is frost damage as my sweetcorn has some damage which I saw before when I planted them outside too early.

I have erected a screen of horticultural fleece around the plants to protect against future frosts which are forecast this week, but will my plants recover?
