Its far too early to put them out yet. With the wording in your posts it doesn't suggest you are going to keep them in a heated greenhouse. My unheated greenhouse is still too cold at night to keep tender cuttings and plants in.

 

Its best to wait until there is a constant day and night temperature above 10 degrees, especially if the plants haven't been hardened off. Its still risky putting them out middle of May. I put mine out then but I've hardened them off and have fleece and cloches on standby.

I thought that too.

 

Then I bought 350 plug plants of lobelia and petunias. I potted them on and after a couple of days of lugging them into the house and out to the greenhouse, I got fed up. They've been in an unheated greenhouse for the last two weeks and they are fine (along with the aubergines and chillies and tomatoes):)

Some bedding isn't as hardy. Coleus will not do well and might die below ten degrees. My heater broke two years ago and my young coleus died.

 

If we get a frost the greenhouse temperature may fall too low, depending where it is situated and how warm it was when the door was last opened. I ventilate my greenhouse during the day.
