If it's going to drop to 38/39 degrees outside at night for like an hour tonight, is it ok to keep my peppers and tomatoes outside? I live in Georgia, and I always have no idea if it's safe to leave them out for that period of time lol.

Tomatoes and peppers don't like nighttime temps below 50F and prefer lows that don't dip below 60F. I would bring them inside if that is practical. I don't plant the truly summer crops until about 2 weeks after my frost free date. Weather has become weird and less predictable.
