Durn it- Hard Freeze question

Last night, my area (NE) had a hard freeze :cuss:- our first of the season. I covered ALL my outdoor plants including the last MJ lady that I have going with garbage bags/tarp. It was a pretty significant freeze and all of them are still showing frost on them, including the MJ.

Should I pull the plant now? It has about 1 week left to finish and the temps are supposed to be in the high 30s/low 40s at night for the next week, so I don't think there will be another freeze.

How many freezes can a plant generally withstand before suffering?

Thanks! :wall:

Now in the 60s outside- plant seems okay with some leaves yellowing and slightly droopy. I flushed with molasses and water to see if it perks up. Not wilted- though the chili peppers are very wilted, so they didn't escape.

Think I can let this go for another week or 1 1/2 weeks if temps stay above 32 degrees? They should- predictions are around between 36 degree lows and 42 degree lows at night for the next 10 days.
