Hope for an indian summer!!!

Ice Cream is pretty durable, and if you can watch the nighttime temps, just make sure it doesn't get below 36 without tarping them. Of course, you'll need to have daytime temps go above 70 for the bananas to develop and mature, but if all goes well at this point, you should be okay, as long as you don't have frost in the next 2 months. You could always try wrapping them loosely in bubble wrap if you get below 36, but that's really about the best chance you have without getting stony fruit syndrome from the cold.

Good luck!!
