Encore du gel/ another frosty night

Frosted ground around 8am this morning: Epeigné-les-Bois

Another night of frost with the ground again white in places this morning. Will have to wait and see what the damage is. I'd hoped we might avoid a frosty night as it was cloudy at 5.30pm. Unfortunately the skies cleared during the evening, so another starry night with a slither of new moon and falling temperatures ...........

Meteo France is showing above freezing temperatures for the rest of the week.

More added to report on visit to Baudry-Dutour here, although there is more to come.

  1. So how far have the vines developed?

  2. JT In eastern Touraine the buds seem still dormant. Was with Thomas Meunier yesterday (Frédéric Mabileau – Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil) and he didn't report any frost damage, so things may be OK so far. May be less good news for all fruit trees.
