How to protect your precious plants from a harsh frost.
If you have a bunch of smaller pots, you can gather them under your patio table and create a “plant cave” by covering the table with old blankets and bed sheets on all sides. For just a couple of small plants, a patio chair or bench turned upside down and covered with a blanket or a sheet provides similar frost protection.
Covering plants against frost can only be a temporary remedy, though. If daytime temperatures consistently drop below freezing, bring all your potted frost-sensitive plants inside.If you still have tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, or other frost-tender crops growing in your garden, you can protect them with a circular fence made of bubble wrap and held in place by four stakes around the plant. Make sure to remove the plastic promptly the next morning.
