Calendula seedlings
A few weeks back on Gardeners World, Monty segmented we sow some hardy seeds now in readiness for next year. I sowed some seeds I'd saved from calendula grown in my garden, into a 15 felled tray, around 4 per cell, now have many seedlings.
Do I plant some in garden now, pot each seedling into individual pots, or what?
Advice please, as don't really wish to loose this trial, as never sown hardy seeds this time if year previously.

If you've got lots you could try some but they do get damaged in a hard winter.
I'd pot some on and protect them in the worst of weathers. coldframe or cold GH, they won't need heat.

I leave my Autumn sown annual seeds in my cold greenhouse over winter, then plant them out in early Spring.

Yes I saw the programme. I have in the past sown my calendula seed in the garden soil in spring. Never had any problems germinating.
Hi all,
Many thanks indeed. Think I'll pot them up and keep in my glasshouse, which generally isn't heated, as have two layers of bubble wrap inside, so rarely requires heating. Also have cold frame, so space not really an issue.
thanks all.
