                          Are they just going out to greenhouse for the day, or are you leaving them there overnight now ?

                          Mine are taking over the window-ledges at home, but I'm not sure if it's warm enough in the greenhouse overnight for them.

                            I wouldn't leave tomatoes in an unheated greenhouse over night at the moment. While it can get very warm in there during the day if the sun is out, temperatures can still fall rapidly at night. There are plenty of 0s 1s and 2s in the night time temperature forecast here for the next couple of weeks (no data after that).

                              I bring them back in at night, but forgot one night and they were fine. Not sure about this colder weather about to hit, I'll be keeping them inside at night for a couple of weeks yet I think!
