I am wondering when people think is the perfect time to plant out tomatoes. I grow all my tomatoes outside here in Dublin. They are semi hardy heritage varieties that yield well every year for me.
However, I never know when to plant out
Coldest nights currently forecast are for 6 days time, where it's forecast to drop to 6 or maybe 5 degrees.
Previously, when my tomatoes have been exposed to these temperatures, the leaves have turned purple and the plants have been stunted. I think it's supposed to be from Potassium deficiency. So, I have tried spraying them with a Potassium rich fertilizer to overcome this.
I have just started hardening them out by bringing outside for a couple of hours a day.
Wondering what other people think/ are doing?
