Wow, I had no idea my question would spark a debate.

The good news is that everything seems to have fared fine overnight. I covered the vegetable with a large sheet, the salvia with plastic bags and the imaptients with sliced open garbage bags. It's sunny and 39 degree outside right now, when I removed the bags there was moisture, but it wasn't as cold as I expected. I'm assuming it was a good thing I had just given everything a good watering before I heard the frost advisory. The plastic seems to have made little sauna tents overnight.

Even my strawberry plants which are starting to fruit still seemed happy this morning.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll invest in some more sheets or tarps before too long so I don't have to get all MacGyver again last minute.
