    Not all tomatoes need to be grown in a greenhouse - moneymakers are one of the better ones to grown outdoors (I am trying this year with outdoor ones). As long as they are sheltered and in a sunny spot they should be fine.

    Moneymaker are great. Start them off on your windowsill. then put them into 3 inch pots, still on a windowsill if poss, then into 8 inch and try to get hold of the big water bottles, cut off bottom to use as a cloche outside over each pot. When the weather is better take off, put a cane against each tom and don't forget to sideshoot. Feed and water well.
    Goodluck.
