Wintering Seedlings

Hi, I’ve grown some cornflower and pot marigold seedlings early - as Monty suggested lol - but now don’t know what to do with them! They’re in a grow house currently. How often should I water them and when can they be planted out please? ☺️

    If they're just seedlings, they won't do much now. Just keep an eye on them, don't over cosset them, and certainly don't water too much. Most small plants succumb because of that, far more often than ones which are slightly drier. 
    They won't be viable for planting out until some time next year, and that will depend on how well grown they are, and what your climate is like. They might also get leggy, so try and ensure the light levels are good  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Ok thanks. I was a bit worried they might have too much light but it sounds like too little would be the issue. Will see how it all goes! 🤞😊
