    hammer, yes get them outside now, but you need to harden them off for a few days, this means leaving them outside during the day and bring them back inside at night. If you've got a cold frame you could just sit them in there for a week. If you don't do this the shock of being moved straight outside can set them back a fair bit (you might lose the existing fruit).

    With the weather being as it is you might be alright to leave them outside to harden off a bit more.[well its not actualy cold at night is it],
