Default Cucumbers & Tomatoes

Hi everyone,
Its the novice back again!! My tomato and cucumber plants are looking very healthy on the bedroom window sill. I have bought one of those mini greenhouses but am not sure when I should transfer my plants to it. Overnight temperatures appear to be a minimum of 4 degrees in my area. I would hate to lose them after having spent hour after hour talking to them!!!

As you can see, I am in Yorkshire & have had my Toms & Cucs in an unheated greenhouse for about 4 weeks now. If a frost is forcast you can always bring them back indoors or fleece them.

Hi Cartsbj, I would give the plants at least a week to get used to being in an unheated mini greenhouse, rather than being in a centrally heated house, by putting them outside during the day and bringing them back indoors for the evenings. The weather is still flippin' cold!
