So it looks as though the last frost date is after all going to be a frost date.
We're headed for 30* weather tonight if the weatherman is right.
Right now in the ground I have lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, peas, radishes, beets, and carrots. I know the broc and peas will be fine, what about the others?
The perennials I have in the ground already should be fine, most in the past have broken dormancy long before the frost date.
so should I cover up the garden tonight?

The carrots should also be fine. Not sure about radishes and beets (never grew them...) I would think they'd be ok though.
If the lettuce and cabbage are thin or appear weaker, you might want to cover them.
Hopefully it doesn't get too cold on you.
I think the radishes should also be all right. You might want to give your lettuce a bit of mulch, don't know about the beets. I got stuck between a rock and a hard place and put in my 30 tomato plants about nine days ago(it's a long an painful story). Last night I made them each individual newspaper tents but tonight they will have straw.
If you don't want to replant, it's better to be safe than sorry.
I feel your pain with late frosts.
