so you may even save those plants, also suggest you cover them on the
nights when there could be a frost and uncover for the sun each day.


Do we get frost here? Average min temp is about 8C. Wouldn't it need
to get down to 0C for a frost?


Average has nothing to do with it. We have had several mornings where the
minimum has been 1C and lots at around 4C. This is frost time as water
starts to freeze at 4C.
