When is the best time to sew the seeds in small pots?

They grow very quickly and can’t be planted out until the risk of frost is over, so I usually leave them until April.

If you are later growing them in the ground, I would wait until the predicted last frost date (for your area) to sow in pots, then plant out as directed at the website.
