dh just informed me that it is suppose to get down to 33 tonight, and could possibly go lower, question is I haven't got any of my morning glory seeds, non are ready to pick, should I cut the vine and place in paper bag til they ripen???? I also have cleome seeds that aren't ready and a few others....

What should I do????

I think they'll be OK even if it does get frost. But in case you are worried, you could put a sheet over
the plants/vine.

Hi connie,

For light frosts you can use bed sheets or even newspaper and cardboard. Don't use plastic sheets if possible.

Good luck

Mike

Even an old blanket or quilt will do a good job...if you can support it with something like a fence. If the seeds aren't ready, don't cut the vines. Chances are, the really cold won't last more tan a few hours and with protection, your plant should survive.
