Last frost?

How to Cover Plants for Frost Protection
A fabric covering will allow moisture to escape but will still protect plants from frost by preventing the freezing air from coming into direct contact with the moisture. Bed sheets work well for covering large plants and shrubs, as well as young sprouts. Newspaper can be used on low-growing foliage, but won’t stay on top of larger plants well.

Bed sheets and newspapers over my tomatoes, peppers and potatoes. Lettuce, beets, bok choi - you guys have to fend for yourselves but I know you guys can take it. Basil - you are nestled snug and warm in the garage.

What we do for our gardens. Covering plants in the dark guided by flashlights. Waking early, before work, to check on the garden and remove the covers.
