Default from greenhouse to garden

In a couple days,I'm going to move 4 tomatoes from the greenhouse to the garden.

The temperature between day and night changes a lot more in the greenhouse then in the garden, so hardening isn't necessary I think.
There is a lot of wind though.
Is it enough to support them, so the main stem can't break because of the wind?

The tomatoes are in bloom and some have little fruits.
Will it stop the growing of fruits when I transplabnt them from a container into open ground?

If you are worried, then you can move them out gradually. I'd definitely support the main stem solidly in the wind. IMO the tomatoes should keep growing.

Are you concerned about UV?

Not really, more about the wind.
It's very windy these days.
I put a lot of effort to grow tomatoes early in the season.
I'm a bit skittish to move them outside.

As long as they are adequately supported you should have no problem. I know they sell fleece and plastic tubes you can put over the plant and tie them off at the top of the plant support stake and use plastic stakes to support the bottoms.
They work well for windy conditions and one year saved about 20 plants when we had a freak hail storm that defoliated my unprotected plants.
