outdoor planting?

Asked on 27 May, 2007

If I buy a packet of seeds that says plant outdoors directly into flowering position can I plant them in the greenhouse until they are big enough to go outside to give them a better start?
Thanks.
Nickie.

Hi Nickie, most of these seeds resent transplanting so if you grow in your Greenhouse I would suggest using peat pots that would degrade in the soil. Hope this helps.

Hi , I agree with the above , if I want to start something off in the Greehouse that should go straight outdoors I use the inside of the toilet rolls ( the tube bit ) and when the plant is big enough I just plant it straight into the ground , it also SEEMS to keep the slugs away a bit , they must get to the cardboard bit and think its not very tasty and move on ? lol
