    Could be lots of things, cold, wind, wet, dry, not being hardened off properly.
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    You don't need frost to affect tomato plants - they need the temperature to be a minimum of 10 degrees C otherwise they start to suffer.

    Night temperatures here have dropped below that.
