Yes! Tonight will get down to about 2 degrees, so an air frost is likely!.
This does mean that the crops will start to die back and things will start to shut up shop for the year. Despite this - the pumpkins, sweetcorn and brussel sprouts will all be ready within the next 3 months. However, everything on the plot does have that 'end of summer' look. It is also a bit overgrown - so I must go down and take charge! n.b. I have had a bad cold the last few days - should have been going to Paris to see U2 :(
