Should I put them in the garage?
How long will it take for the freeze/cold to kill my little tomato plants?
When the temp. drops to -2C your plants are dead.Thats A killing frost.
Reply:They should be harvested in the Fall.
Reply:If they are planted in the garden already, cover each one with a plastic gallon milk jug with the bottom cut out of it. If it's really cold put the lid on. Save these up just for this kind of weather. Borrow them if you have to. If they are still the pots. Bring them indoors. Too cold for tomato plants outside or even in your garage; unless it's over 45 degrees. They don't like cold. Always plant them deep.
Reply:It doesn't take very long...overnight or a few hours will burn or kill them! Coldest time is early morning after the sun is up! If you can move them, yes, put them in the garage! Or you can cover them...plastic soda bottles or milk jugs etc. make a good terrarium! Good luck...it is a very late freeze this year!
Reply:if they freeze kiss them goodbye. there's a saying "don't plant flowers until mothers day" sames true for tomatoes
