Has anyone risked putting tomato plants out yet, please?

The Dorset coast is warmer than Yorkshire, which is where I am, but no I wouldn't do so yet up here.

You need reliable overnight temps of 10 degrees or more. Have a look at what yours are on the south coast.
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Here in north Hampshire it’s forecast to hit 5 degrees at night this weekend so my tomatoes are staying put. Probably consider putting them out during the day this week but not leaving them out overnight till next weekend depending on latest forecast.
Keep digging

Not until end of May (maybe a few days earlier depending on forecast).

I'm tempted to put my ones in the PT out over the weekend but even cautious about this.

I just put two out as canaries in the coal mine. I’m in London. Keeping my other babies safe on the windowsill until I return from holiday in mid May.

Mine have been planted in the greenhouse border for a few days now, if the forecast shows any low temps I'll drape them in fleece, to be on the safe side

Mine, this year Garden Pearl, are waiting in the unheated greenhouse in Sunderland. If we get a warm spell they will venture out during the day, but back under glass overnight.  Hope to get them out permanently by the end of the month, but very weather dependent.

I'm holding back on the outdoor toms for another week or two, just in case.

I only planted out the greenhouse ones just last week.
Yesterday I planted out the garden ones (in pots) so they’ll have to fend for themselves now  :D
