What temperature is too cold?

Mark0820 · May 3, 2011

With all of the rain we had in April, my tomato plants have been on the porch for the last two or so weeks (I usually plant around Apr. 24). The rain has continued into May and we are experiencing some cooler weather for this time of year (it is currently 45 degrees, but should be closer to 60 - 65). The night time temperature for tonight and tomorrow night could be in the 36 - 38 degree range. Since my plants have been outside for at least two weeks, will they handle 36 - 38 degree weather or should I bring them in the house at night?
