tomato weather question

Hi there,
I have a very similar scenario as you have described.
I grew my tomatoes from seed indoors and then put them outdoors once they had germinated. ( only two leafs though)
Temperatures outside were still cold so I bought only half of them indoors again due to space not being available.
Indoor temperature in my room has been a constant 18 - 22 degrees most of the time. The tomatoes indoors are now two inches high.
However the tomatoes outdoors, where the temperature has been varying from lows of 8 degrees to highs of 21 degress odd (mostly staying low though) are still the about the same height as they were when I put them out a few weeks back.
They are not however dead, they have just slowed down I think. I recently put a plastic box over them and they have now started to grow again. The true leaves are begining to emerge now as the glass must have raised the temperatures.
So considering that the indoor ones have grown faster, then they will also mature and fruit quicker than the outdoor ones which will still have some catching up to do.
