Have got one of the plasticy type ones and have my tomato plants in it. Do I bring my plants out during the day and put them back in at night, keep them in all the time with the door zipped open or closed?
It goes all steamy inside if I don't unzip the door - but dh says - that's what its for.

It's probably too much to keep hauling them into and out of the greenhouse - and will be very difficult once they have fruit on - but you do need to open the door every day. If you don't, it'll get too hot and the lack of ventilation may encourage disease and mould.

Open it in the morning & close at night - or for a shorter period and then close them back in?

leave em but they need ventilation. toms esp are susceptible to mould/blight etc if theres not enough air circulating round em. shoudl think about thinning branches out if densely foliaged (
