Not too sure if to ask this here or in the greenhouse section.

I've got some tomato plants that need potting up.  I've started them indoors in a heated propagtor, but it's now time to move them on as I'm out of room.  I do have a greenhouse (very small 6 X 2) and I have it heated, but only to keep the frost away.  I suppose it can get down to about 3C at night.  Will the plants be OK in there this time of year or will they stop growing because of the cold night temperature?

Any help appreciated.

You'll set them back to the point of stopping them with temperatures that low, They really need 10^oC.

Looks like you may have started them a bit early if you have nowhere to put them.

If it gets below 5 degrees then it can cause them to sulk for a while.
So long as they don't get frosted they would recover.
Idealy they shouldn't be subjected to tempratures below 10 degrees but that's sometimes not possible.
Keep them indoors for as long as possible but if you can't due to space requirements then maybe you could just put half in the greenhouse and let the others grow on alittle longer in the house?

You beat me to it D.D.

Thanks both for the tips.  I think I'll keep what I can indoors and in propagator in the greenhouse (yes another one).   The rest I'll leave in the greenhouse and maybe bring them in at night if it looks like a cold one.

Thanks again D.D. and stompy.

If your greenhouse is in your back garden put them in it by day and bring them into the house at night. It doesn`t matter where they go at night, just leave them on the kitchen table!
