Will these below 50 degree nights stunt ws tomatoes growth? I haven't planted them yet. Some are in their own pots in a greenhouse-type setting, some still in milk jugs that I threw plastic over. Tomorrow night's supposed to drop to the upper 30's. Bring them in, or keep them covered? I know they won't die, but I'm concerned about them becoming stunted. Thanks!

I don't know if it will stunt them or not but it is a good idea if you can bring them in. I'm keeping my Crossing Fingers! for no frost Thumbs down

Ann, the temps can certainly slow the plants down, but I doubt it will truly "stunt" them. Where I live 50-degree temps at night aren't uncommon for much of the summer... and yet, my plants manage to grow over 6 feet tall (and produce tomatoes, of course -- kind of the whole point of growing them Hilarious! )

Thanks, All! The plants(and I ; ) survived last night. I brought annuals and the tomatoes inside, and covered whatever I could outside. It was 40 at 6 am, and no frost, however when I used the wipers to remove the condensation on the car windows, it turned to ice, so it was def cold. Gardening has all kinds of challenges, and I try to keep a good mindset about it all, but I'm ready to move on now to warmth and sunshine! I think it's time : )
