Gizzard they need more light.
The way to go in and out with the plants is to bring them in at night if it gets to around 38 and take them out in the day.
I started my plants indoors under lights because that way I could go to work and not have to worry about them.
The lights were on all of the time for 16 hours a day.

All my wife did is to crack the lids when they started to sprout.
When I got home in 2 weeks I put them out every day for sun light.

It works for me and you have seen how sturdy the plants were.

In this way of doing it I dont even have to harden them off as they pretty much start life out in sun light.

You'll do fine and you will be surprised at how produce sells itsself.

I think as long as there is never a moment where you don't have a sample out, you'll be fine. Don't forget the salt and pepper shaker.

I'd put up a big sign:

Please ask if you need help choosing a ripe
tomato, or if you would like a free sample.

Please do not squeeze the tomatoes!
