Mid March frost

One morning I came down to find this frost had caught me and the garden by surprise - having put out my bird baths and failed to cover over the plentiful blossom on my little apricot tree - its first proper flowering.   The bird baths are fine but I thin I may have lost most of the apricot crop.   It also dissuaded me from planting dahlia corms which I put off until the end of March.
