I often see it recommended that plants are brought indoors before the
first
frosts - could somebody tell me approx. when that would be?

Where are you to get such a late frost?

Outside Leeds.

Shame on you! When any of them say (including Michael Fish) "there is
absolutely no danger of a hurricane......"
To be fair, this is an art as well as a science. When someone pins Nature
down to being utterly predictable, we *will* have cause to moan - until
then...c'est la vie!

If I were to believe its idea that my last frost is in early May, I'd
lose an awful lot of plants.

I reckon aspect and surrounding topography have a lot to do with whether those last
remaining dips to the zero mark affect you in your particular locality. You only have to
be _near_ the warmth of a big city/urban development (for example).

Fraid it isn't as easy as all that to predict! and of course it can depend a
lot on where your garden is, Keep your eye on the forecasts from August, but
you may not get one till November :~)
