I had the same problem last year, sowed a few too many seeds for the space then available. I planted out what I could but kept a couple behind. It was interesting to see how the planted ones grew large while the potted ones remained rather small, when I eventually planted them out they grew very quickly, perhaps because of the strong root ball.
