As above, I put mine in a tray with a little potting compost and then placed them on a north facing bedroom window sill at the beginning of March. That way they get daylight but no sunshine. They kept well untill I planted them out about the middle of April.
I haven't even ordered my sets this year yet. I'll be doing that at the end of this month.
mmmmm maybe i was little keen :( :(
new to this, so all help and advice is greatly appreciated and well needed!!

thanks DD :) :) :) whats the best way of storing the sets til march? as i dont want them going soft as they have prviously ;) ;)

Mine are quite happy sitting in their trays (no compost) in the outside garage without messing about with them. No signs of sprouting yet & were bought over a month ago.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
