Default tomatoes, lettuce,musculin wilting a few days after planting them

Hello again,

I have another question. It has been a fewdays since my fiancee' and I
picked up the bulk of our plants at a local garden nursery and it got
colder than expected the night before last. It kind of crept up on
everyone. It was in the lower 40s. Now a couple days later some of the
tomato plants and the lettuce and musculin look very wilted. The
peepper plants look ok. When we planted everything we watered them
well. And we have watered the plants each evening. I don't know
exactly when we should slow down on watering the tomatoes. I know they
don't want alot of water. I have not given any Miracle Grow yet.

I had read lasy year (awhile after we had already planted the
tomatoes) that if you cover the plants at least 50% up with the soil
that you will get bushier plants. I have always gotten tall gangly
tomato plants. So if the tops look bad can I take them off and uncover
some of what we buried? Is that a good idea after a few days?

I am conserned about the lettuce and musculin too.

Thanks for your time again.
