When to plant tomato and pepper seedlings
If night frosts are still possible, tomato and pepper seedlings should not be planted under any circumstances.
Tomatoes and peppers are heat-loving plants; at sub-zero temperatures, seedlings will die even in a greenhouse if it is unheated.
Seedlings can be planted in a greenhouse at +17 degrees during the day and +10 at night, in open ground – at +20 during the day and +13 at night.
