Good luck! If you buy a roll of thin poly "painter's dropcloth" and tent the plants with that when there is some sun shining, you'll get and keep enough residual heat to prevent frost damage until you get down into the mid-20's - at least that's my experience. Windy nights are generally not the frosty nights here, but we're in a cold snap with some impressive gusts, so tenting would be nigh impossible. We gleaned a few gallons of green and orange tomatoes yesterday. Broccoli will be OK, as will the root vegetables, but the garden is on its last legs.Astronuc said:We are supposed to have a frost tonight. Most of the peppers are still green. I could pick the jalapeños, but I'd like the habaneros to be orange. There are a couple of orange habs with a few green to yellow. They are nicely hot.
I think I'll cover them with clear plastic tonight.
