How well do Black Krim cope when grown outdoors-Yorkshire temps?

I am guessing that if these toms originate from a cold climate, then they should be good to grow outdoors in the summer here.
When ready, I want to put 2 or 3 plants up against a wall, South facing.
I ended up with 10 plants from the 11 seeds I was sent. All 10 plants are doing well in J I No3. Will no doubt keep a few in the conservatory which catches sun from just after 2pm up to sun set.
I have never grown these. I have read a little online-"ensure planted deep, with soil well up the stem. Ensure there is adequate lime when planting. Ensure adequate water down at the root-ideally via a pipe burried to root depth".
Anything else worth knowing? Thank you.

I'm trying a different variety this year " Bloody Butcher " and so far I'm finding that Bloody is the operative word - slow growing and extremely whingy - time yet tho and much depends on what our "summer" will bring.
