Low 40s here and breezy for the next three nights. Tomatoes, squash and cucumber are 6"-12" tall in my garden. Im calling the snap peas a loss and replant already.
Should I cover?

as long as no frost you are okay. it will slow down like a mfr but not kill it

I brought my cucumber and peppers that still haven't been transplanted inside. But I'm not worried about everything that's already in the garden.

I'm in Georgia, have some carrots coming up from the warm weather the last few weeks. I'm not covering anything and it's getting in the mid 20s tomorrow night. It will be a quick freeze and won't penetrate the soil.

I wouldn't cover but if you can protect a few plants you might get produce from then a little sooner. I wouldn't go to alot of trouble but mulching over or covering should help.

No frost, no problem

Hit the tomatoes with a little extra fertilizer when it warms back up.

Easy on the fertilizer. More people RUIN gardens by over fertilizing.
