Good idea to do them in batches, Marymary- think I might do that.

7 Days ago I put my first 7 tomato plants outside in the garden. For some protection I put up a plastic screen, 1 meter high. The rest of my tomato plants are still going inside every evening. One more week I guess, before planting them out.
Same with my peppers.  Even though it is not very warm at the moment, about 14-17 degrees, and a good bit of rain, the plants are growing very fast.

My method of hardening off it to start them on the windowsill, then move them to the mini-greenhouse. Then they get planted under cloches with the ends left open. finally, these come off.

That's good work with the lemon drop.

Tried fleece over the ones on the allotment - they died :'(
Tried others in the garage (unheated) - only one survivor  ???

Indoors had a Mirasol and Apache and both have survived. :)

Of course the real challenge is to over winter a tomato!

I cut them back in very hard at the beginningof the winter so they only begin to flower again round about now.
