A little tip that might help attract more viewers; have both the fahrenheit and the Celsius temperatures written in the video, same goes for ft/m, it only takes a couple minutes to look it up but it does make the videos accessible to not just America but the rest of the world. Remember; most people are lazy and would rather watch stuff where they don't have to convert the units.
I’m having great success with plant protection fabric. I used it to get my younger cabbage and brussel sprouts, lettuce and bok Choy and mizuna thru transition from greenhouse to raised beds. This was slightly before three weeks ago when we had a prediction of a below 20 F night. We’re at 5,500 feet elevation in S AZ. The fabric row covers kept the plants happy and growing and I continue to use them now on nights near freezing. The best part is when all the bugs were still around before the first freeze the fabric kept them off the plants also. 😁
I love your videos! I actually used the frost cloth before our first near frost here in Phoenix, and because I work long hours, I left it clipped over staked structures. The plants just loved their little tents which have turned into mini-greenhouses of sorts, and I actually picked eggplant and three tomatoes yesterday, which blew me away! I tell them I love them every day, so I'm sure that helps, but it is amazing! My eggplant is going on three years now since I do as you suggested and only trim back the damage after the weather heats up. I am also using your special mix of soil from Arizona Worm Farm, and the plants love it! Thank you, thank you for the inspiration!
I watch which area frost frost and which ones don’t on my property. The spot on the south side of my house has its own microclimate and frosts much less than other areas. So this is where I plant my fall/winter and early spring crops.
I have three main areas in my garden. The side-yard garden gets a lot of shade, another area that gets afternoon shade and the newest area that gets mostly full sun. I try to plant accordingly for summer (full sun plants in full sun, etc) and not add a lot of additional shade. I usually film when the areas are shady - so it may look like I get more shade than I actually do. Hope that helps. I'll try to do a video all about shade before summer.
I’m in Phoenix and have some mangoes. They’re pretty small only 3 gallons when I got them from the nursery. What would you recommend for frost protection?
Find the warmest area in your yard to plant them in. Keep them covered if we have a frost. Plants in a container are more susceptible to frost than those in the ground.
Once temps cool down it slows down quite a bit. It just depends on the type of winter we have. You can leave them on and cover if we have a frost, but they are very frost sensitive and grow best in warm weather.

Perfect. Thanks for sharing. Stay warm!
First frost day in Mesa is December...nice.

Your garden seems to have allot of shade. Could you address that and how it helps or hurts here in Arizona, year round. Especially summer.
I have three main areas in my garden. The side-yard garden gets a lot of shade, another area that gets afternoon shade and the newest area that gets mostly full sun. I try to plant accordingly for summer (full sun plants in full sun, etc) and not add a lot of additional shade.

I just planted a bunch of peppers and tomatoes in my garden but in two days from now the low will be 37° f ,,,should I be okay 😐😐

Do you cover your Roselle to try to extend the harvest? Mine have lots of small calyx's on them and wandering if I will get to harvest them.

Is cilantro hardy?
Yes, it tolerates light freezes.
