Storing Plants during first cold nights

| Hello,
I have about 30 flats of native savanna and woodland plugs that I'm currently storing and preparing to plant this week and next. I'm worried about them during this cold snap. Any advice on what I should do with the? Bring them inside? Ideally I would cover them with leaves, but I don't have a good source for them. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

| HI, I'm worried about the same thing except with my basil and cherry tomatoes. Darn it all--- I'm going to make some pestos and I've picked several of the green tomatoes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will ripen. What will happen to all the marigolds? They look so lush right now..shame if they get killed by the cold. |

| You can toss sheets/tarps/whatever - over them and anchor them with large rocks - it's supposed to blow about 30 MPH for the next couple of days - and that should protect them. |
