I've just checked a hoophouse where I have some potted cyclamen and hellebore seedlings. The pots that were moist are now frozen solid and the cyclamen leaves are drooping. The pots with loose, drier compost are ok. I can poke my finger into the compost. I guess if this cold weather continues, I would have to think about watering the almost-dry ones, but they look fine, so I won't. It is great having sunshine and brilliant stars, but I'm hoping the night time temperature gets above freezing soon. That means clouds, of course.
