Thanks Wanda wkspatzer@aol.com Vermont Home Gardener Weather Alert   Protect young Plants!   If you ambitiously got your tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, or basil transplanted during this recent warm spell, congratulations, but you may want to give them some protection from the cold spell forecast for Saturday, Sunday, & Monday nights.  Temperatures in the low 40s and upper 30s probably won't kill those plants but it can cause a serious setback and damage to exposed young leaves.  Since plants grow mostly at night, chilly night temperatures (below 45F) can cause tissue damage and can take days to recover from.  I suggest two important things to do to reduce cold injury on Vermont Home Gardener.
