foxglove and delphiniums
I planted some fox glove and delphinium seeds in June to grow in my mini greenhouse in a seed tray, about 3 weeks ago I potted them in small pots and kept them in the greenhouse but they haven't grown much - they haven't died but they're still only about 3-4 inches high. Should I attempt to plant them outside if they get a bit bigger or should I just keep them going in the greenhouse til spring? Thanks - haven't grown anything from seed before (except easy grow annuals - which sre blooming nicely!)

I'd wait till spring but then if I planted anything out up here I know it would be frozen to death come October and most likely covered in snow by November till February.
I potted on my small foxgloves and planted out the following year when they were a decent size. Same kind of reasons as NLass although more wet and cold here....and hundreds of slugs ready to pounce!
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks for your help guys!
