Novice has some tomato plants about 18 inches high (not the cherry type) in
pots.

We have just bought one of those plastic greenhouses. Would the tomatoes be
*happier* in the pots placed in the greenhouse or would they be happier
actually planted in the soil inside the greenhouse? Thanks

We grow our out on out allotment in the normal soil, the only problem with
that is the blight that arrives July time. With a greenhouse it is often
said that the border soil gets depleted and infected over time so it is
advisable to grow in pots. In your case it's the first year so by all means
grow in the soil. That also means if you forget to water for a day or so it
won't matter like it would if they were in pots.
