Can i use trash bags with bed sheets on top to keep plants from frost?

temps will get in the low 40's and 30's tonight......there is a frost advisory warning......never planted before and just planted my first garden today. just my luck....... just would like to know what i can use to keep my plants safe...... i just now put trash bags over them and have no idea if that is good, bad, or what. any advice ......thanks.





ok...now...next question is: can i leave the plastic that i put on - there? and then add a bedsheet on top? or will that be too much weight? not enough airflow? so confused here.....








any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks.Can i use trash bags with bed sheets on top to keep plants from frost?
plastic transfers the cold temperature TO the plants and does nothing to keep the frost AWAY, unless it's laid over a frame so that there's NO chance that it will touch a plant..... cloth and paper is what you use if you don't have a frame.....Can i use trash bags with bed sheets on top to keep plants from frost?
Tuck newspaper around the bottom of your plants stick some pole -type thingies in the ground and Yes! cover the poles with trash bags and bed sheets make sure the wind doesn't get at them This is what I have done for a quick remedy but later a frame with clear plastic you can roll back would do Hope they don't freeze


(drape the sheets down around the plants of course sorry)
uncover them in the morning before the sun gets on the covering material


what kinds of plants, some may be able to take the chill





always use fabric or paper products to cover plant materials, plastic sometimes freezes onto the plants.
you can use anything that will keep the frost off of your plants
Bed sheets, on plants, no plastic, unless you can keep it off the plant!
