Because tomatoes are a warm season crop, they should not be planted outdoors until the temperature has reached at least 55 degrees Celsius.

One good tip to help your tomatoes survive frost is to plant them in containers, because this way you will be able to take them inside when you need to.

Although tomatoes can survive a light amount of frost and moderately cold weather, this is not always the case. A lot of times tomatoes end up dying because they are not growing under the right conditions, which is why it is so incredibly important to plant them at the right time of the year for the best results.
