by mistake i have turned off my propagator over night. worst still it was in the greenhouse and i have 3 tomato seedlings about 2" high in there. have i killed them
Toms are renowned for being wimps, and even a sniff of frost will be painful, however, inside a greenhouse, inside a propogater you may have a chance of getting away with it.
Turn heater back on and keep an eye on things but you may find they will live a long and fruitful life

Life's disappointments are so much harder to take if you don't know any swear words.
Frost does tend to knock things down quickly, so I would think that if they'd been harmed it would be obvious. The propagator will have kept some of its heat in overnight as even when you deliberately switch them off they take a while to cool down.
Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
Have a look at the seedlings and if they look OK then they are OK although may be stalled a bit but if they look like they have frost damage then they probably won't recover. No worries if they've had it anyway as it's early for toms as yet so you have loads of time to plant more, won't be sowing mine for about a month yet as I haven't enough warm space for them when they get bigger so am saving that space for chillies and peppers which need a much longer growing season to fruit well.
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
