Cold temps and wait till spring is the best I can say. Usually you need temps getting close to freezing a few times in the fall before protecting them to set...
From what I understand, keeping the temps constant once a spike has formed (ie no wild fluxuations in the high and low ranges) will help greatly to insure...
