I cover them as they come through and it worked for me last year and im doing the same again this year, if your not going to get to the plot for a while you might want to cover with a biggish mound of soil.
Thanks
Kris

Start to cover them a bit up as they grow through so that a frost doesn't kill the tops.
You can do this a few times until your pots are full up. If it's still frosty then you'll have to fleece them.
