We live in an area prone to summer droughts and expensive water so we plant early to crop early.my plants in the cool greenhouse are now 12 inches tall and need to go out.could I plant out under plastic in this cold snap.

I am in a very exposed windy site and I planted mine out last weekend. No cloches, just open. This weekend they look fantastic.
I agree with Lyn - they are very hardy and you do need them outside in order for them to get pollinated (usually by bumble/solitary bees at this time of the year.) A bit of protection wouldn't be out of place if you haven't hardened them off though.
