Help - Broad beans & Tomato plants

I think I need to call 999 for my plants. We decided to grow broad beans and tomatoes from seed. All went very well and are now a decent size. We have a small plastic greenhouse which we keep them in. My problem is the leaves on both plants and turning yellow. We water everyday and plant food every week (maybe need a better brand?).
Is it possibly too warm in the greenhouse? Should we move them outside?

    It might well be too hot in there. Do you open the door up during the day? And do you have any thermometer readings? If it's in full sun and all zipped up, the plants will be cooking!

    I would think broad beans (which are very hardy and used to cold weather) would be much better outside ... may just be getting much too hot , do you keep the greenhouse open during the day ?
  • We keep the doors closed during the day, have a thermometer and its v hot in there so will move the beans outside for a while and see how they go.
    Thanks for all your help x
  • Definitely, it will be steaming in there and cooking them, mine was streaming with condensation even at spring. My tomatoes have been outside for a month or so now :)
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!
