patiance into these plant and would love to save them? thank you

Dear Jennifer:
Sorry it has taken so long to get back with you. Do make sure that you have an ability to vent
the gas by-product from your heater. I agree, you need to keep the tomato plants above freezing,
but some gas heaters give off deadly gases which is the same reason we don’t use them around
people in an enclosed area without proper ventilation.
The process of growing plants is certainly one that most of use the trial-and-error system.
My best,
Stan
