Tempted to move the toms to the unheated greenhouse- advice!

[greenishfing]

I have got all my tomatoes on the lounge windowsill and they are getting leggy and are none too happy. I am considering moving them down to the greenhouse at the allotment in the next few days and planting them deep in the border.

The forecast is improving all week and I have got some tomatoes coming up on there own in last years tomato greenhouse which have survived the last weeks abysmal temperatures so I am wondering if I dare!

In previous years I have used candles under upturned terracotta pots on colder nights. No staging and nothing to catch fire in the greenhouse and I do have a paraffin greenhouse heater somewhere but I don't trust it.

As an alternative to heating I have yards of fleece.

Should I risk it..............

Ooooh, risky business! Fleece 'em good and proper greenishfing and ...... fingers crossed!!!

All of mine have been in the GH for weeks and survived!

Lot of difference between Yorkshire and South Wales, I would wait a day or two to make sure the forecast is correct.

Forecast for here is min 8c at night for next couple weeks, if yours is similar, I would go for it. Make sure you have some fleece on standby in case it drops again.

Forecast for here is min 8c at night for next couple weeks

Met says mine are similar, and shows a min of 7 on the chart, but then spoils it all by adding

This Evening and Tonight:

Skies should remain largely clear overnight, which when coupled with light winds will allow temperatures to dip, perhaps leading to a touch of grass frost in one or two rural spots. Minimum Temperature 3 °C.

Talk about covering all bases

That's what I read too Thelma I think I'm going to fleece my toms tonight and just bring in the chillies. Everything is getting a bit big and my boys are so fed up with carrying things in for the evening it would be good if I could leave them there for the night.

Half of my toms have been in the G/H for a week and are ok.so the other half have gone out today.
will still fleece them for a few nights.

[Bren In Pots]

Last night our min temp was only 3.1c so I won't be leaving anything tender out yet.

I'm in rural mid wales and mine have been in an unheated GH for the last 5 days,but I fleece them at night
