I've 2trays which have germinated indoors on a window ledge. They are ready for pricking out , wondering if they would be ok in greenhouse or am i best to bring them back in?
Thanks

They should (there is always an exception and depends how precious they are) be fine they are a hardy annual

Maybe I should pop my cover of blow away GH up as a safety measure. Thanks

Mine are in the GH and I have also some outside that have started to flower.

I often use those clear plastic meat trays for a few nights over the pots while they get used to the change in temps.

Flowering

Flowering :

They are hardy so I often sprinkle seed outside in late summer early autumn.
I remembered to do an Autumn sowing of a few hardy flower varieties of flowers last year ready for this and it really makes a difference.

Not only am I super pleased how far forward my plants are it has freed ( is that a word? ) up my time for other stuff.

Mine have been flowering over winter. I scatter the seeds outdoors whenever I remember. About the hardiest plant I know.

[Guest]

I have a self seeded one in the veg patch that has been flowering over winter as well.

I think if they are last year's plants they are much earlier anyway.

These are seeds just sown

Stick them in the GH...if you are worried, just put some newspaper over them tonight or a couple of clear plastic meat trays to give them a little shelter.
