    I tend to wait until we get the first frost.

    Can mean running around like a headless chicken for a while though, if you wait that long.

    It also depends on what plants your referring to, as some are less likely to be damaged by slight frost than others

    There are bananas and bananas, there is quite a difference in range of hardiness between them.

    Likewise palms so you need to differentiate between the really tender ones and the hardier ones.
