Cold Temps, What Should I Do?

[Trickerie]

Hey All,

I'm new to this whole gardening outside thing, and was looking for some advice. My current lineup of plants are as follows:

1) Strawberries in a terra cotta pot,
2) Tomatoes in a homemade earthbox (with black heavy duty plastic mulch cover),
3) Red Bell Peppers in a homemade earthbox (same mulch cover),
4) Mature Ghost Pepper plant, potted with maturing peppers,
5) Ghost pepper seedlings in peat pods

The temps outside have gone from 90-100 to 60-70 after Sandy passed by (South Florida). What should I do to keep my plants safe? Everything but the earthboxes can be moved if needed.

Thanks!!

Relax. Not a problem.

I don't think they will be affected at all until temps get down to lower 50's at which point pepper growth may slow down, but they won't be killed. Tomatoes won't slow down until mid-40's or so and strawberries until mid-upper 30's.

Thanks a lot guys. It rarely reaches below 50 here, so you have put me at ease!
