        I have to say I am going to have to pot a few lots of seedlings on as they are so far forward like yours Woo. I am grown g them for a sale as well so I hope they will slow up a bit soon though. :help:

          Think I'd be really hardening them off now.
          Outside in all but frost.

          Not grown them for a few years due to rust problems, but self sown seedlings used to overwinter pretty well here.

            Do half n half Woo....compare how they do :)
            Self sown seedlings have survived, adjusted to naturally inclement weather. Those we have brought on are softer, cosseted and lusher thus requiring a little more care :)
            Experiment...it’s what I do:)

              Its turning colder next week woo my suggestion was only to point out that they are fairly hardy.
              I was really only suggesting that your tender ones would be ok in anything as long as they don't get frosted .
              Self sown seedlings would be harder as they would have started growing late summer and got aclimatised through the winter.

                      I saw this thread and thought to myself “I think I’ll try some from seed this year”. Bought some seed today, and sown. A bit late, but should be ok. Thanks for prompt WOO :thumbsup:
