Duncan,

There are some types of broccoli and cauliflower (Burpee for one) which are
varieties intended to withstand light frost.

I have not used remay, with medium frost the plants look dead in the
morning, as soon as the sun hits them they bounce back and are off and
running with no frost damage, for colder climates I would use remay though!
