Winter has arrived!

It's now cold outside by south Texas terms.  The temperature dropped to the mid 40's last night.  I covered my tomatoes and green beans.  Tonight its dropping into the 30's. I hate to lose the tomatoes on the plants.  They are not full grown yet.  According to the gardening experts, if I can keep them protected through this, we should have until January before the next frost hits, plenty of time to get the tomatoes grown and harvested.  This is important to me because our spring weather was so bad that we had no tomatoes.  Usually we can get the tomatoes in the ground in mid-march and not worry about them.  This year, the cold lasted until the end of April and then it went to extreme heat within a couple of weeks.  They say if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait 5 minutes, it will change!
