My entire basil harvest got wiped out by a surprise frost last Thursday.

I had six big pots of Genovese basil that were just about ready for a big pesto batch. The weather app said 40 degrees, but it dropped to 31 overnight here in Cincinnati. I came out in the morning and every leaf was black and limp. Has anyone found a good way to protect plants from a late cold snap on a 4th floor balcony?

That "surprise frost" is the absolute worst.

Ugh, my buddy lost his whole pepper plant to one last week (he forgot to check the forecast). Total bummer.

Keep old sheets handy to throw over your plants overnight.
