Jackee,

Better to cover your plants with fabric such as a sheet, blanket , burlap or 
even newspaper than to use plastic. Watering your plants will also help. I 
have used Xmas tree lights to protect citrus trees and other frost sensative 
plants. If you have several empty milk jugs, fill them with water and place 
them next to your plants just before you go to bed. 

If the leaves on your plants have frozen they will turn black in a few days.

Good luck.
