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.

I only ever direct sowed and put sticks in for them to climb up, bit old fashioned I guess. I dont think they are a valuable enough crop to mess around with too much TBH.

Not a weedkiller etc as we rarely use any and never on or near our veg/fruit beds. The Rasps are well into the garden so no chance just they could be affected by drift from another garden.
