My husband left my seedlings out the other night when the temperature plummeted to 33 degrees. Fortunately, I was awake at 4:30AM, and it ocurred to me that given how hectic it’s been since our 14 year old Ridgeback developed seizures and had to have splenectomy, he might have forgotten. I went downstairs and brought them in. Thankfully, although some appear to have died, others were damaged, but still viable.
We both concluded that worse things have happened. :)

Yeah , frost and cold snaps are the bane of gardeners,
and as I recall, you are in a lowland 'micro-climate', right ?

The local weatherman is calling for the 'possibility of frost' in a week from now (4/18/16) (Monday - Wednesday (4/25-4/27) here in Western NY.
That unexpected report suggests you keep the plants mobile , or under frost protection as you are about 1 day downwind from me, weatherwize .
