Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

If you don't have any of the normal things to cover your plants, just dump 
hay over the tops. It'll keep the frost off the leaves, but you do have to 
uncover them pretty promptly, after the threat is over.
I used sheets to cover 2 small fig trees this past spring, and they didn't 
keep the frost off as well as the hay. Everywhere a fig branch touched the 
sheet itself, it was blackened. They've grown out of the problem, but I 
thought I'd lost them for awhile.
