Hi All,
I have several plants I don't know what to do with now, all are inside and I don't know whether I should be moving them to the greenhouse, move them outside or swap them about i.e. out/GH during the day and in at night, please could someone give me some guidance.
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Aubergines
Marigolds
Lobelia
Morning Glory
Chillies (Cherry Bomb)
Yesterday I planted out my Hostas and hardy geraniums so I'm hoping they will be ok.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Scroggin, that's made it a bit clearer. I guessed the toms and cucumbers would be different as they are not outdoor varieties. I really don't want to kill them all off
I am not sure about the rest but Morning Glory definitely can't go out yet. I put mine out in the unheated greenhouse and they have stopped growing and gone a really sad yellow colour. I have another lot that are still in the house and are growing like mad. I have since read up a bit more and apparently they do not like temperatures below 10 degrees at all. I think next time I will sow my seeds later.
Oh Verdun......it's a good job someone knows what they are doing, or were you trying to sabotage my growing efforts on purpose
Thanks Verdun for the info that was correct and Sprig
Sowing some more Morning Glory that have arrived today and keeping them on the windowsill 
It is warmer in the GH Scroggin, it's about 30c, they are on trays so not too much 'faff' I will give it a go.
I actually cross posted with Verdun so did not know I was contradicting until after the event! You will probably find your new batch of Morning Glory seeds will end up better anyway. Mine are getting so big now they are a bit unmaneagable inside, at least yours will be a sensible size when the weather is good enough to put them out.
I've not sowed my Morning Glories yet - they get away much quicker if you wait until the weather is warmer
