Default Can tomatos grow outside??

Hi,

My tom's have gotten too big for my mini greenhouse now so i've had to put them outside. Unfortunatly i dont have space for a bigger greenhouse.

Will they survive??

I think you have to "harden them off"..bring them outside during the day, put them inside at night for a week. However, I am a first timer so I don't really know and I am sure an actual expert will be along shortly to set me straight

I always grow my tomatoes outdoors but there are greenhouse varieties and outdoor varieties - what variety are your tomatoes?

strictly hardening off only works when night time and day time temps do not approach greenhouse temps but this time of year i have the front 2/3 of my green house open 24/7

toms will survive out side as long as they are wet and warm

They are all moneymaker's

I water them so there always damp and feed them every other day (along with my chilies and peppers)

Saying that, will the chillies and peppers be ok

They should grow outside but will not produce the same quantity, size or quality as if they were grown inside.

Cheers
