Will 15-20 degree temps take out some garlic plants that I planted in early November?

They are about 6 inches high now. Should I go out and cover them with plastic or hay?

No clue about garlic but my experience is if the plant gets daylight direct sunlight it will usually be fine. If it is in shade and therefore stays colder longer (which sometimes means covered in ice longer), that's the death sentence

I’d just cover them with hay.

Garlic is cold hardy to below 0. I would cover them anyway but they should be fine.

I have never had a problem with cold hardines in garlic.

It is recommended to not cover plants in plastic as it's not breathable causing moisture to get trapped inside.

I cover my plants in plastic all the time up here in Dallas and Ive never had a single issue . People want to sell you expensive freeze clothes are the 9nes saying not to use plastic.

I agree that plastic is ok in some cases, but maybe most that are saying not to use plastic are in areas where covering necessity is long term.

This, I covered mine with a pile of grass clippings I keep in the back of the yard.
