Is it still too cold?

[Bigmallly]

Mine have been in unheated greenhouse for over 2 weeks & are fine. I am not saying that's what you should do as my greenhouse is very sheltered from the elements.

Mine went into the unheated greenhouse about 3 weeks ago; make sure you have the door closed all the time and it does trap the heat overnight. I kept mine in the middle of the greenhouse for the first week or so but seedlings sown out there are now also up with no extra heat.

I've got flowers on the overwintered cuttings from last year's mystery tomato; and it has grown a good 2 inches since it went outside into a half filled recycle bin in the greenhouse. Bearing in mind there has been no additional heat used for this overwintered cutting and it was in the greenhouse until about November and only brought indoors when the snow threatened I'm very pleased so far.

You lot are braver than I am. My babies are going to stay inside for a while yet

I couldn't be doing with Mr Z's constant tutting and comments about 'these flies, are they anything to do with you???'....the fungus gnats seemed worse than ever this year - so the first warmish venture into the greenhouse meant I shifted all my seedlings straight in there.

I'm putting up the fleece around my greenhouse tomorrow to move some tomatoes, I need my windowsill space for the chillies. It was 3 weeks ago last year that I put mine out, but I've delayed this year in deference to the weather.
I've just checked the forecast for the next 15 days in my area, lowest 5C, so with fleece, and maybe a touch of heat if it threatens to be colder, I will be OK.

Try leaving plastic bottles of water next to them in the unheated greenhouses. They'll warm up during the day and slowly give off heat during the night. That extra 1C may make all the difference on a cold night!

(My peppers and toms are still on my windows as I don't yet have a cold frame or greenhouse here)

[Mrs Jackson]

Mine have been in a plastic greenhouse for about the last week. My garden doesn't ever get frost though, so I'm fairly confident they'll be fine, even if they don't grow much!

Just had a frost here last night!

Mine are sitting in pots in the polytunnel and some in the greenhouse some are also planted in the ground in both, they seem to be ok

Can you let us know how they cope Liza. I will keep my fingers crossed for them.

Morning, just had a look and they are fine ! will be keeping an eye on them though

Every year I must miss the odd fallen tomato, the resulting seedlings that grow I use as a bench mark for when it is safe enough for my tomato plants to come out of the propagator and fend for themselves in the unheated greenhouse.
You could sow a few seeds in a pot in the unheated greenhouse (cheap seeds or save your own for this purpose) and these could be used as your benchmark.

I've just checked the forecast for Skipton for the next 7 nights and we have: 4c, 4c, 3c, 1c, 0c, -1c, 0c.

So I'll be leaving my little thermostatic heater on in the greenhouse for a while yet

[Two_Sheds]

We had 2C last night (and it's not much more than that daytimes at the mo)

[smallfrog]

Mine are in the potting shed and looking a little unhappy. Ran out of room so some are hoildaying in my dads poly tunnel and have lost 5 plants already so there going into his heated green house.

Will try the hot water idea as well to try and lift the temp a little.
I'm not risking my chille plants so there saying on inside but have wondered about set a few more toms to be on the safe side.

[Incy]

Well. With the door open all day yesterday and closed from around 5.30pm it dropped to 2 degrees in the greenhouse and 3.5 in the polystyrene fish box I put in to see if it would be warmer in there for the toms. I will leave the door shut all day today and see if that makes a difference to tonights temperature.
I like your idea of sowing some toms in the GH Headfry, I think I'll give that a go. I lost quite a few to lack of light this year some some varieties are not well represented
