    Unless you have space in your house for the toms and cucs you'll probably need to heat the greenhouse for a few weeks after the plants come out of the propagtor.
    You also need to think about whether you are going to plant in the ground in the greenhouse or in grow bags or pots.
    You also seem to have rather a lot of toms and cucs for the size of GH, but you can always pot up some toms for a sunny corner outside.
    Give the tom and cucs about another week and then pot them on into 3 inch pots and keep them warm.
    When you've space on the propagator sow some outdoor variety toms, by the time they are big enough to go out the weather should have warmed just about wrmed up enough.
