How To Protect Your Tomato Plants From Cold Weather (Part Two)

Hey Guys,
I hope everyone is doing well.
This post follows on from the first all about how to protect your tomato plants from cold weather.

As I mentioned before, tomato plants are notoriously cold-sensitive, too cold and you risk losing your tomato plants altogether and there's nothing more devastating than losing all of your hard work, but the most important thing to remember is no matter how many times things go wrong in your garden (trust me, I know this all too well!), the best thing to do is to keep trying. I know this personally as I too, have had many setbacks on my own personal seed growing journey. 
This time around, we're going to be looking at more practical tips and what you can do to protect your tomato plants from the cold weather.
So let's dive right in....
Bubble wrap.... ahh bubble wrap... not just good for many.. many hours of amusement... (or maybe that's just me!).
Bubble wrap is a great place to start, especially if you have  green or unripened tomatoes in your garden when the cold weather hits. The concerning factor is the lower night time temperatures. 
If your tomato plants are growing in tomato cages consider wrapping the entire cage in bubble wrap overnight. If you're unsure, use duct tape to secure the bubble wrap and leave it overnight.
Remove the bubble wrap the next morning or you run the risk of excessive heat build up under the plastic that will cooks and destroy your tomato plants.
Covering your tomato plants overnight is the best practical tip I can offer you. if the daytime temperature is high enough to sustain your tomato plants, you have a higher chance of being able to grow tomato plants successfully.
So, what's the best thing to use to protect your tomato plants from frost?
To cover your tomato plants from frost, it is best to use a cotton cloth or canvas, or if you have the money to spend, use a plant cover specifically designed to protect growing plants from frost damage.
However, you can use many different things to protect your plants from frost such as garden fleece, blankets, sheets and bubble wrap.
All of these things are readily available and easy to get your hands on without breaking the bank and will do wonders to protect your tomato plants from colder night time temperatures.
Thank you for reading, 
Until next time,
