Depends, what temperature they are on now. I haven't moved mine, as it's very cold out there all of a sudden here.

I'm leaving mine. Not sowing anything else yet.

Mind you, I forgot to check what temperature was in gh today, enough to say, some salad leaves were frozen. I fleeced broad bean and like seedlings.

Also, were we to sow there, would not have this problem to discuss. :lol:

dont be in a rush to put out into the greenhouse at the moment we have frosts predicted for the next couple of weeks..

put in a window sill to adjust to cooler climate.
keep it organic and you will see the difference including taste......

Be kind to the little plants  :nowink:

They can be hardened off when the cold spell is over.

Don't shock them by leaving them somewhere chilly with no chance to adjust  :)
