    Last year, I had problems with my tomatoes, grown in the greenhouse. Ghouse was shaded, plants well-watered & fed; plants got going well and started to fruit, but then died off; not blight - stems OK but leaves curled & withered. How can I avoid a repeat performance this year? Will Ghouse toms grow outside successfully when mature, or is it a no-win situation - too hot inside, too cold outside?

    Yes, sounds right to me too. I would persevere, outdoor Tomatoes crop late outside, and I think are a complete waste of time (I am sure others will disagree!) especially if you have a greenhouse. Outdoors its a race between summer ending and tons of green Tomatoes maybe turning red ...

    Of course a red-hot-Summer fixes that problem, but I'm afraid my crystal ball is no better than yours!
