    Seedlings safe to move to unheated greenhouse?

    Yeah well dont leave them too long but those pots look big enough to me until planting out time. Too much potting on early could delay the first flower truss and cause lots of leafy growth.

    Annuals that slugs and snails dislike

    Not heard of those before, I have some slug collars. Maybe I need to upgrade them with a battery pack. :)
