Tomatoes in Greenhouse
 

I'm rather new to greenhouse gardening and am wondering whether my potted on
tomato seedlings would be ok in a cold greenhouse where they are to be
planted in due course? I notice that since I potted them on and moved them
to a cooler bay window they are looking stronger.

Place them in a cold greenhouse in Mid April, but you can place them
there now if you can maintain a temperature of about 55% F. As a matter
if interest, what is the temperature in you bay window at about 2 am on
a coldish night?

I shall be from this weekend be putting some trays of potted-on toms
into the greenhouse (during the sunny days only) to take advantage of
the light. I shall bring then into the conservatory at night, but
they're not going to get their little feet into greenhouse soil for
about 4-5 weeks yet. And they'll get a bit of paraffin heater help
overnight for the first week

Remember if you close the curtains at night then close the plants into
the room not out of it.

As long as they're frost-free they should be okay Robert. We start ours off
in the prop. house but move them into another greenhouse which is only
frost-free, not heated.

However, given the cold snap we're having atm, I'd be inclined to wait a few
days for that to pass (I hope!). Your plants are now used to the relative
warmth of the house. I wouldn't put them into the ground yet, either.

Good question, unfortunately I have no idea but it's completely unheated in
that room
