I found another pic in my photo archive that can be useful if you need to setup a greenhouse in 5 minutes when unexpected frost is coming your way: just take a parasol or big umbrella, put it in the garden, and make a 'curtain' of plastic around it by attaching the upperside of the plastic sheet to the border of the umbrella with clothespins. You can remove and rebuild it in a wink and it provides protection against cold temperatures.

The picture shows a tent made with this principle. I allways enjoyed it when sitting in it while it rained outside, but I'm sure the plants would enjoy it too when you use transparant plastic covering.
