Hi folks.  I received a delivery of these in the autumn and planted them in pots in the greenhouse.  They are now about a handspan across and almost as tall - should I: 

1 keep them in the greenhouse for a while yet...how long?
2 get them in the ground
3 yo-yo in and out the greenhouse, plant out after frost is past?

Thanks for any advice!  SO keen for these to do well!

    I would harden them of in the next week and get them in the ground then as soon as you can.

    They will be hardy so I would get them outside . If a frost is threatened give them a bit of protection such as fleece or newspaper.  Two weeks outside should toughen them up, then get them in the ground.
