Thanks for your question. The plants mentioned can be protected with row cover material. This is a special material that allows the sun to penetrate and the plants to breathe. Unlike plastic covering, it prevents the build-up of too much heat that plastic coverings do.
I’ll be organizing additional information for you but I wanted to give you a quick response before a potential frost hits. Protecting plants with row cover material can provide growth of plants well into winter weather.
Here is the additional information on your concerns. I hope it helps and gives you some ideas.
