Default Safe to put tomatoes out yet?

The weather is all over the place but it does seem to be getting warmer.

I'm on the East Coast and it seems to be about 5C lower than inland, but
I can't see any frosts coming up.

So what is the guide for when to put outdoor tomatoes out doors?


I will put some out on the decking under the plastic roof, as that area is
generally frost free.

Coastal Suffolk is also a low frost area.

Having spent some time in Berkshire a while back I was amazed at how late
the last frost was.
May some time.
Very, very few frosts here and those are generally on cars and the roofs
around her, not on the grass.

If I do put some out further into the garden it will be in mini
greenhouses because blight is a given for nearly all years.
So much so that for a while I have up growing outdoor tomatoes.
