Chilly Spell - Herb Worries

Hi,

I'm pretty new to gardening because I just bought my first home last September. I've planted tons of things, but it's getting down to 39 tonight and I'm worried about my herbs. I have rosemary, mint, basil, lavender, cilantro, parsley, and oregano in planters hanging off the edge of my deck. for 39 degrees, should I cover them? Or bring them in? I'm afraid bringing them from 49 degrees into my 65 degree house would shock them. What should I do? :?

Thanks in advance!

Bring basil in. Everything else should be fine outside.

Thanks I got them in! I know this is herbs, but should cherry tomatoes come in too? I forgot to ask about those.
