Cover with plastic or garbage bags. The orange growers leave water spraying on them. As long as the water dont freeze you have a 33 degree plant =)

Will the frost last long?? If its not too frosty and doesn't last too long, spray the crop just before freezing. The water will freeze and protect the leaves.
If it will be alot below freezing or for week or more this will not help..
In that case cover the plants or take indoors.
Cover could resemble a minature greenhouse.

Growers of orchards use a kind of the thanks to guard hostile to frost. one element they use is smudge pots, that are like smoke bombs that burn for numerous hours. The smoke acts like a blanket to save the floor warmth close to the flora. it truly is amazingly efficient in valleys or different low parts the position the air settles and stagnates on a nonetheless, chilly evening. yet another approach is air circulate. They set up oscillating followers by the orchard that consistently agitate the air and the flora. The air bypass prevents the frost from forming with information from blowing it away earlier it has a probability to settle in. The action of the bushes also imparts warmth to the branches and leaves to maintain away from frost progression. finally, they use a very good mist spray of water to guard the flora. The latent warmth contained in the water is often adequate to save the foliage warmth adequate to maintain away from frost. If the temperature receives chilly adequate to freeze the water, some flora (like citrus) will really be insulated with information from the layer of ice that develops, scuffling with damage to the foliage and fruit. I used to stay in an section that were given frost and that i might want to set the automatic timer on my sprinkler equipment to come back on a pair circumstances by the evening to maintain away from frost on the grass and flora. It worked extraordinarily nicely. The BBQ idea might want to be equivalent to the smudge pots and would paintings. once you've some warmth source (like the BBQ) and then use followers to flow the nice and comfortable temperature air throughout the time of your backyard, this offers you some protection . you could also attempt getting tremendous sheets of plastic (contained in the paint component to a house progression save) and drape those over the flora, securing the perimeters and corners with rocks or timber. this can capture the floor warmth and look after the flora from the chilly air outdoors.
