It’s not the rain that’s giving the garden trouble.
It’s the temperature. 9C/48F is chilly for fresh transplants, but that “feels like” humidex of 1C/34F, with the potential to feel colder, is another thing entirely.
Most of what I’ve got out there can either handle the chill, or has protective collars that will provide some protection, but it’s hard to say just how much is going to survive the night.
*sigh*

Just checking the temperatures before heading to bed.
The first screencap image is Celsius, the second in Fahrenheit. Instagram wouldn’t let me show the whole image, even though that’s what I set it for. Underneath, it gave the expected overnight windchill of -36C/-32F
I keep telling myself, the isolation babies are okay. They like to curl up together on the cat bed in the upper level. It is under the lounging shelf, so there is a low ceiling, the back wall is insulated, the side wall in that corner is insulated, and the box nest next to the cat bed forms another insulated wall. In front of the cat bed is the heated water bowl. All this, plus the insulation forming a ceiling, plus the heat lamp. They should be just fine.
But still, I worry!
