Default Tomatoes

Ive grown some cherry tomatoes which have been raised in a heated propagator. They have been growing well. Turned off the propagator last week, they are just showing the second set of leaves. How long do they have to be kept indoors before moving to unheated greenhouse?

I don't want to lose them but need the space for other things.

Hi
I've had germinated toms in an unheated [not attached to a house] garage for about 5 weeks now. i also have some in a polystyrene container with an upside down plastic storage box [makeshift cold frame] outside for a week and they have been fine.

Thanks Zazen

I've put the plastic lid on top and have my fingers crossed.

Perhaps I'm being too protective! They have to grow up sometime.lol
