Have you kept the in a cold greenhouse? we have had some very hard frosts the last few days - they may have got too cold?

If that's the case you need to sow some more, and keep then warm until you can plant them out. They need a minimum overnight temp of 10C in order to thrive.

I moved some of mine from their pots in the greenhouse, into the border soil.

They sulked for a day, but then picked up.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
