Right that's a good set up, but how are you going to get that bag out!🤔 It may have been a bit cold for toms /cucumbers outside ( depends where you are) and if they have caught cold they will look purplish or have brown edges. They may recover just keep an eye on them. ( We have had sudden heavy frosts lately) When you grow in grow bags the compost can be a bit shallow , so alot of people put a tube or plant pot without a bottom ( cut out) around each plant filled with compost to increase the depth. This works well as when you transplant from one pot to a bigger one you bury the tomato plant up to the lowest set of leaves, this creates more roots and a stronger plant.
Another 'trick' with growbags [although too late for this time!] is to give them a good shoogle [ ] and then turn them on their side, rather than having them flat. The shake [shoogle ] gives the compost a good mix, which is often necessary as they get compacted during storage. Turning on their side gives you more depth, so perfect for tomatoes
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Well mine are in the conservatory and some in the greenhouse. ( but even the greenhouse ones have struggled) that is why most are in pots so they can be brought inside overnight. Now hopefully the nights will be warmer and they will be ok where they are, if not you may need to replace them.
