My tomato plants are now about a foot high and producing flowers is it too early to plant them outdoors?  I live in London .....

    The weather next week will be grim - cold with strong winds. I would leave it at least a week.

    Outdoor toms, June, have to watch the night temperatures.

    I stick them out on nice days and bring in at night.

    What do you do with your tomato plant at it's end of season and after you've harvested the fruit?
