All those pony pack veggies we planted last weekend are probably going to get whacked.

Two options. Go to a nursery/garden store and get some Remay. It's a garden "fabric" kind of like thin felt. Early evening (or when it's starting to cool off) put the Remay (loosely so the plants don't get squashed) over your plants holding down corners with rocks or whatever. Will protect your plants from potential frost. We use it every year.

Or, if you can't find Remay or want to go a cheaper route, use clear plastic. Make sure it's clear plastic and not black plastic. Just be sure to get the plastic OFF the plants in the morning before the sun gets too hot or the heat will kill the plants in no time.

Both of these options, in effect, make a mini-greenhouse.

My wife spotted a mini greenhouse at Fred Meyer for $49. She delayed grabbing it and they sold out before she could buy one. We can just put the plants in the garage until we get past the freeze tonight. There is snow from the Utah/Idaho state line all the way up to Yellowstone. Our local mountains are shielding us in the Pocatello valley area, but we could still get hit.

Remay works well and can be reused season to season...amish here use milk jugs and old soda bottles with the bottoms cut off to protect their plants.
