I would prefer to wait a while yet before  planting them out. But I am in South Yorks . I only set my seeds last week.  :)
Cheers .. Jim

I planted 6 seeds in single pots in the unheated greenhouse and only 3 have germinated (so far)
I grew last year and only had half a dozzen but they were lovely

Best thing is plant a few out and keep a few in the greenhouse and see what happens well thats what i'm trying this year ,my second year
