Hi Derek
Are you planting into the open ground/greenhouse or pots / growbag toms
hate the cold,

Open ground in Jersey. We've had our (first and) last frost (very
probably). I've transferred them to a 4-tier mini greenhouse today (door
rolled up in day-time, down at night) how long must they stay there as
they're already sending roots out through the gro-pots? Assume I'm 4 to 5
weeks ahead of the UK. Drinks-bottle cloches could be provided if that
would be a good idea? Anyone?

They were always grown outdoors 'time past' Derek. I'd think it very
unlucky if Jersey got any frosts now, though admittedly it's been a
strange couple of years! If they're sturdy plants that won't be harmed
by heavy rain, should you get any, I think they're safe to put out.
We've had a Strelitzia living outside for over a week now and no, it
hasn't got any tomatoes on it. ;-))
