did it get cold while your plants were outside? what color are the leaves
now? if they're black you did kill them. If they're white you left them
out in the sun too long and the leaves are probably dead. Water more
sparingly and see if they try to re-leaf. But were I you, I'd direct seed
more tomatoes in your garden, and toss the plants. Margaret
