I am new to gardening and started my first garden this year. When I started my pepper and tomato plants indoors, I went ahead and started my squash, zucinni, and cucumber at the same time. The squash grew a lot faster than I thought so I had to go ahead and put it in the ground. We had a somewhat cold snap for here and it got down to 29 for the low and upper 50's for the a couple of days. I didn't uncover the plants and in one 50 degree day, I lost all of my squash, zucinni, and cucumber plants because I did not vent the tarp and get them fresh cool air during the day. A couple weeks later, I put other transplants in the ground and we had another weekend of frosts. I covered the plants at night and vented them during the day and it worked great. Live and learn.
