Ok here is my solution to freezing cold and wind My tomatos are grown in a tubelike structure made from left over metal roofing ,and somewhere I know I must have a pic of it and today when most of the plants have topped out over it I invert a bucket over it and weigh it down with a heavy rock or piece of concrete the smaller plants I cover with leftover plant pots (cheap plastic ) and a shovel of wet soil on top of the pot It may not be 100% effective but if it saves the biggest share of the plants then I am calling it a job well done
