I move mine to the greenhouse when temps are consistanly dropping into the mid 40's at night. But I grow my plants hard with the mindset if you baby plants, your plants will be babies :-). A friend moves his in at low 50's. randy

You should probably bring them in when night temps start dipping regularly below 55*. Al

I don't know what to tell you either but wanted to give a little support for you and your hubby. I hope he is recovering nicely! I always wrap things in sheets and blankets if I'm afraid they will freeze. I also put any pots I may have (which aren't many) on the side of my house that is sheltered from the north wind. There is quite a temp difference in that area and that's where they spend the winter. That may not work at your place, though.

My way of cooking boneless breasts works on charcoal grills, gas grills, and stove top in a cast iron skillet. It will be moist. Start grills with heat only on one half of grill. Take breasts out of frig and rub with evoo. Do not salt. Salt pulls moisture out of meat. I salt and pepper at the table. I do not use any marinade other than evoo. Place on grill with the thick part toward the heat, but on the side with no heat. Lower lid on grill. Turn over occasionally. Cook until 165*. Do not go over 165*. You can stop a few degrees short, it will rise resting. Remove, cover lightly, and let rest for 5 minutes or so. If using cast iron skillet on top of the stove, just heat on high. Add chicken and reduce to medium. When brown on one side, turn and cover. Turn occasionally until done. I love this for checking temp. https://www.thermoworks.com/Classic-Thermapen?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI96zp7ujx2wIVRjqBCh0ypQFPEAYYAyABEgLOK_D_BwE
