Welcome to Grow Cook Eat Arrange and we are going to do our podcast Q&A.

So we are talking about February questions now.

So the things that we've been sent in relevant to the month of February.

And the first one is when can you move seedlings outside if you use a window sill propagator?

So I guess what we're talking about here is hardening off.

And Josie and I don't necessarily totally agree about this.

I think I tend to be a bit more brutal than Josie.

But of course it depends what you're growing.

So if you're growing something that's hardy,

either a hardy annual like, for instance,

Calendulas or Ami, or a hardy perennial that you might grow from seed,

then they're hardy and so really as soon as you get, I don't know,

I always tend to think here in Sussex, mid-April, I can start putting them out.

And it's true, I could put them out for three hours on one day, four hours the next, five hours and next, but I'm not that organised.

And we haven't got the time.

Exactly.

So I would tend to say with a hardy annual, as long as you wait until the middle of April, then, you know, just whack them out. I mean, it's true. If they've been grown in a really hot inside place rather than a coal greenhouse or a coal frame or a pony tunnel, you will need to do a little bit more just so that it isn't like they've gone from the Bahamas to the Arctic.

It's just thinking of it like that, I guess.

And then, of course, if it's half on the annuals, you've got to be a little bit more careful

because they won't take even a minus one.

And so with them, you've just got to keep a beady eye on the forecast.

I always try and push it a little earlier than I should,
