My tomatoes that were sown back at start of Feb are coming on nicely but i wondered If it is time to move them to the cold frame to join my brassicas?  Or am I being over eager

[azubah]

I put mine in the greenhouse on sunny days, but I would not like to risk them out at night as yet.

They will be OK in a cold frame when its mild but I would take them back into a warmer spot when overnight low temperatures are forecast (less than 5C). They will benefit from the extra light in a cold frame which will stop your plants going leggy.

Unless you have a heated greenhouse, February is rather early to start tomatoes.

The ones I have destined for the unheated greenhouse are still in their packets and will probably remain there until April.

Don't be too keen, it was -2.5 here last night!

...but will you have ripe tomatoes in June?.... I do have to put in a lot of work looking after mine by wrapping them up on frosty nights when they are too big to take into the house.

[DD.]

Yep!

Don't be too keen, it was -2.5 here last night!

Ground temp was -6^oC here last night.

[Yorkie]

Temps of below 10*C (either day or night) will cause your tomatoes to sulk big-style.

I wouldn't risk it.

[noshed]

Mine are still in a packet on the kitchen table

[DD.]

Same packet as mine?

Mine escaped from the packets today, but it's a bit warmer here (allegedly )

I'd say, where were our predicted 11 - 12c temps in Kent today !

[andy135]

It did reach a balmy 10c here in Mancunia today. I almost broke out into a sweat. 

[azubah]

Yep!

I'd love to know how you get ripe tomatoes in June from an April sowing in a cold greenhouse, DD.
I'm sure mine would not be ready until September!
