Quick q about planting on toms and mange tout

I’ve grown tomatoes from seed - normally by now I would have potted on and they’d be in the (unheated) greenhouse day and night but the night lows are very chilly for toms. I need to pot on as they are getting leggy and I want to pot on covering the stems a bit. So the question is - shall I wait, or do this now and then what? Greenhouse day and house night?

and ditto mange tout which I will plant successionally for the next month or two, but they are already big and the soil in my raised bed is cold. Do I pot on? Green house? Plant up and cloche?

photos for guidance!

Sorry, I can't help but have the same question about leggy tomatoes. I know they can be replanted deeper, because the stem will shoot too.

I'm also on the gardeners world forum, where you will likely get far more answers.

Pot on tomatoes and cover as much stem as you can.

Mange tout - mine have been out for a few weeks now but I am much further south, but I've put mine out this time of year in the UK before, so harden off and get them in, and just give them a bit of protection for the first couple of weeks.
