Leaving Tomato Plants Out?

AlittleSalt · March 7, 2015

The ideal time to plant out tomato plants for my area is supposed to be as early as Mid-March. Which got me to thinking about eventually leaving the plants outside at night while hardening them off.

This week, the snow and ice is finally over. Forecasted are highs in the 60s and lows from 40F tomorrow morning, and then warmer each morning after that. (45-50F)

At what overnight low temperature would it be safe for me to leave the tomato plants outside?

So far, they have never experienced temperature lower than 55F.
