Depending on how many plants you have and how industrious you are you could set out some propane heaters and cut them on when temps start falling below 30

I plan to put a big fan on them and keep the air circulating. The big farms around here will bring in helicopters to hover over their fields to keep warm air from the ground circulating to the plants. It'll either work or it won't.
