Are my tomatoes going to die?

I left the plants out at night over the weekend and now the leaves re getting discoloured and some are shrivelled. Can I save them?

All the leaves or just a few? How cold did it get & were the plants hardened off at all beforehand?

Bring them back in the warm & give them some tlc & they'll probably pull through. Then harden them off in the daytime for a week before moving them out at night again (& make sure it's not getting too cold at night either).

Usually it sets the plants back a bit but they do recover. I left a couple of mine out last week by mistake & the leaves went purpleish, but I think they'll be OK.

So glad I brought my baby tomato plant in last night. I put it in it's big pot to live out in the garden, but it lasted all of 5 mins before I decided it was too windy for my baby to be out. It's now sitting on my dinning room table until all this nasty weather stops.

Hope your plants survive.

i have got about 30 tomato plants living outside in their little pots, hardening off in a sheltered spot. have been outside for a week now. maybe they are hard tomatoes or yours are southern softies

bring them in and give tlc. harden them off by leaving them out during the day and brining in at night. good luck
