Another thought...fried green tomatoes taste best after the first frost...a hard frost (and 29F isn't hard), however might damage the fruits beyond use. Water the plants well, as it will freeze first and protect the underlying plant much as an igloo keeps Eskimos warm within. Mulch heavily around the plants to protect the roots, as warmer weather often follows that first frost. Good luck, and hopefully this does not mean a hard winter for you.
