I have my garden mulched in with a lot of hay. When the temps drop, I push hay up the base of the plant to about 1/4-1/2 of the way up the plant. The same thing you do with citrus trees. Then I cover the plants well. Thought my eggplants were gone but they are producing again also. That plant is HUGE! Has lots of blossoms on it again and some small eggplants. Gave away so many this summer that it was unreal. Hope the mild weather continues a bit longer (except for the mosquitoes!).
