How cold is too cold?

The reason I ask is the next couple of nights it is suppose to get down to 35-33 degrees. I was wondering if I should put a hoop house over my raise garden bed or should my garden be ok? Thanks in advance for any help or input.

That is close. I think I would cover things. At 32 things freeze. Not pretty.

Yes, most likely best to provide protection... but to what degree? What do you have planted?

Thanks guys for your help and input. I build a hoop house today with 3 Mil plastic hope that keeps them above freezing.
