Hi All, I have grown some tomatoes which are now about 2foot high. When will be ok to put them outside? I have been harding them off but need the space for other crops...

Rightly or wrongly mine are outside nowWPC F Hobbit, Shire police -
I reckon they will be okay, wind will probably be your biggest enemyComment

Mine are outside now...I need to secure them with a post though!Comment

Mine have been outside for about 10 days now. They got too big to keep inside and I had no way or hardening them off so out they went.
1 is getting really big now the other 3 look fine but have not really grown much.Comment

Mine went out yesterday as I needed the space in my unheated plastic greenhouse for other stuff. However they have been hardening off in there for the last couple of weeks. To be on the safe side I do have lots of replacements in case of disaster that were sown later. Fingers crossed

If you have more than 1 of each variety... perhaps keep 1 back, this should help a bit with the space constraints. I'm adventurous with timing my planting out but my toms are still in the greenhouse. Personally I wouldn't take a chance... I chance it with things that I can grow more of and or grow quickly eg courgettes and beans. That said though my sweetcorn is in the ground already...
Never test the depth of the water with both feet
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.Comment

Mine have been outside too for the past 10 days and seem to be doing fine. I did harden them off for a couple of weeks before planting out.AKA AngieComment

I've just read that there's a full smiths period announced for the Maidstone area of Kent, don't want to worry you people, but that could mean early blight

It's to do with temperature and humidity. A certain amount of humidity couple with above average temperatures for over a certain period of time is a smith period, I think the temp is above 10 and the humudity above 90 percent.Comment

Taff, we're certainly having some huMUDity here today with torrential rain, my paddocks are under water.. a bit past the humidity stage.
