jsvand5, good luck - here's hoping your plants will make it though okay tonight.

Btw, a tip should you ever need it if you are caught out and didn't cover in time - misting your plants throughout the night can save them even if they aren't covered. I've saved plants down to 27F with no damage at all this way. The misting does need to be pretty much constant though, especially when it gets into the 20's. As I'm sure you might be aware of living in Fla, citrus growers sometimes do this. Cranberry growers also apply overhead irrigation on cold nights to save their crops.
