@Edsbiscus I agree with Daisy about that blanket. Although your plants may be getting some frost damage, the blanket is still protecting your plants. When the blanket gets wet and freezes, it actually provide an extra layer of insulation from the cold wind. Tropicals will survive temps below freezing if it is not to much below and is short term, but they will take some frost damage, covered or not. Keep covering with the blanket on nights when temps are expected near freezing and uncover during the day for sunshine. Prune back the damage when all danger of frost is over.
