Tomatos outside, frost predicted, what to do?
I have four tomato plants in grow bags outside, and the BBC predicts a frost tonight, with a sharp frost tomorrow night. The plants are between 100 and 200mm high.
What can I do to protect them, without crushing them in the process?
Thanks.

Alcazar, I'm no gardener, in-fact i suffer quite badly with hayfever, so gardening is my idea of hell.
But the old boy who lives next door is, and he wins shows!
I have seen him on numerous occasions bringing tomato plants into his house when the weather gets cold, i asked him why and he said because of the frost.
He said he fetches them in gives them a drink, and has a chat with them
But fair play too him something works as the damn things are massive when their ready

My Dad didn't used to talk to his toms, but he did bring them in the house if it got frosty. Mam used to go crackers. She didn't whinge when he had a full crop later though
He was a fantastic gardner
