This week is looking nice and dry with daytime temperatures in the region of 14c-18c, but with low temperatures overnight.  If the concrete is poured in the morning and I cover the trenches with a concrete frost protection blanket, will that suffice and ensure that the concrete doesn't suffer irreparable damage.

In trenches you won’t have any problems (unless you are pouring into permafrost) as the ground will be several degrees above freezing.

From my limited understanding of the chemistry involved, once the water is added, the reactions start.

So if warm(ish) when poured in the morning, a frost should not bother it.

Yeh trenches be fine. I'd like to think now we are past the stage of hard ground frosts. I'd like to think we're past the window scraper stage tbh
