help needed

So as I said in an earlier post I have ordered plug plants for the first time this year. They arrived today - they are tiny - not a problem, just a project! I will pot them into bigger pots but don't know where best to keep them. I don't have a green house or cold frame. I do have a conservatory but I have just been out there and ita far to hot for young plants. Will they be ok outside during the day then in the conservatory at night? Or does anyone have any better ideas? House not an option - kitchen too small and rest of the house has cream carpets!!

    I am growing my own petunia, lobelia started from seed and geranium from plug and I am growing all of them on windowsills. These plants are still young and not frost hardy anyway.

    Will they be ok in the conservatory during the day? Im at work most of the time so can only leave a little window open and its south facing. I have already managed to burn a lettuce leaf (poor thing)
