Marilyn, patio tomatoes are the best container variety so I bet they do great! You should get some liquid seaweed and after you plant them, water them well and then last water them with the liquid seaweed (1 capful to a gallon of water - you won't need the whole gallon to drench them so I'd use 1/2 capful in 1/2 gallon of water would be plenty). Water them with liquid seaweed once a week and that will be all the fertilizer they need and it is the best kind. Get the seaweed drench on the leaves because it will be absorbed by the leaves as well as the roots. Use the seaweed in the early morning or late afternoon, not when the sun is beating directly down on them.
I have an outdoor thermometer on my back porch and it only got down to 44!!! Tomatoes only have to be protected at 45 or below, so I overdid my wrapping - but oh well, better to be safe than sorry!
