    You want it frost free-but that is still too cold for tomatoes-especially overnight-perhaps put them out there during the day-with a bit of protection- and bring them in at night?

    If you are thinking of putting them in their final positions-now-strongly advise against it

    How big are they?

    So if you prick them out -bury the stem up to the first leaves-they should be ok for a bit-the problem you have is that temperatures day and night are just too cold at the moment -even in a greenhouse with a bit of heat.
