    You didn't say what the low would be. If it's not going to freeze, your plants will be all right. Your asparagus has a hardy root system, so if you got some cold kill, other shoots will soon sprout. You can cover tomatoes with old sheets if light frost is predicted, otherwise leave them be.

    If you're starting them indoors, you would normally do this about 2-3 months before your last expected frost date. Then once they reach 6-12 inches, you can plant them outdoors, treating them like you would crowns.

    You should have enough time to do it now, but you have to do it ASAP, so that it has time to establish before it gets cold. If it does not establish before it gets cold, it cannot survive the winter.

    If you are not certain that it will establish before the cold comes, it may be best to wait until spring to plant it in the ground.

    Unfortunately, dill weed is considered an annual, though the seeds will usually overwinter in the soil. Therefore, it doesn't make much difference whether you cut it back to the ground or not. I would be sure to keep some seeds for next season should none of them pop up in spring, however. As for asparagus, here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/asparagus/cutting-asparagus-foliage-back-in-autumn.htm

    They can be planted now. We would recommend adding a layer of leaves or mulch over them for this first winter to help protect them a little more but other than that, planting them now will be fine.
