advice please on tomatoes
Hello, hope you don't mind me asking your advice. My tomatoes are doing really well and are outside ( in pots) all day and sometimes overnight. HOwever the forecast is for a low of 4 tonight so this is where I need your advice. Should I take them in the unheated greenhouse for shelter or leave them out?
I have been taking them in when its been dropping low but not sure how low to make the call if you know what I mean.
Any help would be really appreciated

Are they in a sheltered position? Have you been monitoring the temperature where you're growing them? If they're likely to go down to 4C and I could still move them, they would be coming into the house (if they are in pots). If they're in the ground then cover with something that will insulate and keep some heat in.0
