Harden them off as you would do for any plant grown in the greenhouse before putting them out at night, then they should be fine  :D

Mine have been outside for a week or two in the little greenhouse.  Will they be ok if it was frosty or will they need to be protected with a fleece once I put them in their flowering position?

Sweet peas like it cool but not frosty. They won't survive frost, so fleece them until you're sure frosty nights are finished..
