    Hi,

    My tomato plants have just gone from my conservatory to the outside, according to the met office its a min temp of 10 c tonight, so will they be ok with that temp? its just I have about 30 plants and taking them in and out is a bit of a chore. If the temp looks like dipping again I can bring them in again, do you think thats ok?

    I like a minimum of 13 Steve but I have heard they will stand 10 for a short time. Personally, unless they have been out during the days for a while I wouldn't risk it. You probably won't kill them per se. They will just stop developing.
