Just set out 100 tomato & pepper plants:-(

Assuming it will freeze tomorrow night, is there an
easy way to protect them? Plastic sandwich bags?
As a kid, I remember Grampa putting tiny white paper
snow-cone things over the plants & placing dirt around
the base. Never grew any snow-cones.

Not plastic, Gene. Paper like your Grampa, or cloth will be fine.
The dirt he piled around the base created a seal that trapped the heat
being radiated from the ground.

Pretty smart gardener, your Grampa.
