It's not rocket science.....

In the past I have sown seeds into compartmentalised trays and let them germinate inside, then transferred the baby seedlings to larger individual pots, then finally popped them outside only the day or so before planting out. I didn't want the delicate things to die! But I sowed some broccoli and cauliflower seeds last week - the tray was taking up space inside so I moved it outside as soon as they germinated. Turns out they grow MUCH faster if you do that. Obviously they are tougher than I thought!
