Greenhouse whilst on holiday

I have pots of tomatoes growing in a plastic greenhouse (quite successfully i might add)  
I am going away for a week.  Do I water them the night before then leave it closed until i return, or partly open?

I am new to growing, but am really enjoying watching things i plant grow.

    get the biggest tray possible and put a towel in the bottom, soak the towel  and put the pots on top of it, this should keep them watered well enough,

    I would leave the door slightly open to let some airflow, but to protect them from any possible cold nights.

    Hi Dave

    if you are going away I would also repot them as the compost will dry out pretty quickly even though you are leaving in a tray on a towel.

    Growing tomatoes need a much bigger pot

    enjoy your jollies
