    It greatly depends on where you live, the temp, and how big they are.  You need to harden them off outside to get used to it being colder, especially if you have grown them indoors.

    We had quite a frost last night in London. White rooves.

    once mine have germinated, I leave them outside. I also sow some seeds in pots outside. This year's outside ones  have germinated and the others are growing fine.. I'm not sure how this works further North, but it's worked for me here for a long time.
    In London. Keen but lazy.
