... a risk of frost.
Eh?
Say again?
No, wait, lie to me.
Growing plastic in the garden:
Two rows of tarped tomatoes, covered short season sweet potatoes, and straw mulched potatoes.

An enabling site for the horticulturally obsessed. Life around my urban plot is green! (except in the middle of winter in Canadian zone 5a then it's mostly sludgy brown and white.)
My cabbage was attacked by head rot because some of them split though most of the Mammath red rock was a-ok. Carrots have some bite marks but the beets look and taste fab. My alliums were raded by leek moth which not surprisingly nabbed all the leeks and left the perennial onions sparse. Garlic chives were more or less unaffected. This is the fourth year running that the chinese lanterns have kept the colorado potato beetle away from my solanums and I saw nary a cucumber beetle this year but then again I was away.

That's a lot of effort to try and keep your tomatoes safe. Living on the coast we never have to deal with frosts but I can see why you would want to 'go the extra mile' to keep them safe. Well done.
unlike me, you seem totally prepared for a frost. we're shivering under a frost warning in Toronto right now. Hope your plants make it. I have some doubts about some of mine but am hopeful that the frost stays away.
Cheers.

I couldn't bring myself to do it last night...to frost wrap my tomatoes. What is up with the weather?!?!?
I think my plants survived...
Wow, frost warnings is June? That's crazy! We had 4 inches of rain here in NJ this weekend.
