How cold can 3" plants stand outside?

I started tomatoes, lavendar, and red salvia plants indoors and take
them out for sun every day. The weather has not been kind to us and
is still in the low 50's.
Without killing my small plants, or letting them get long and leggy,
or just die, how cold can it be for them outside????
TIA, Nanzi
I wouldn't push your luck below 50 for tomatoes. The flowers...maybe 40.
Cabbage family laughs at adversity - high 30s for them. But, remember that
it can often be quite a bit colder at ground level than where your
thermometer is mounted.
