Small garden; 12' x 30'. Beans, carrots, beets, radishes are all up

UNSEASONABLY COOL AIR WILL MOVE INTO IA. TONIGHT & DROP TEMPS INTO THE
LOW TO MID 30S ACROSS MUCH OF THE STATE. EXPECT FROST TO DEVELOP DURING
THE EARLY MORNING HRS SUNDAY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS.

A FROST ADVISORY MEANS THAT FROST IS POSSIBLE. SENSITIVE OUTDOOR PLANTS
MAY BE KILLED IF LEFT UNCOVERED.

If any of them, the beans, I think. The root crops should be able to
take a light freeze (although I really don't know about beets, never
having grown them.)

Good luck!
