The seeds we planted a fortnight ago - Witkiem Manita broad beans, Kelvedon Wonder peas, Percy Thrower and Spencer Special Mix sweetpeas, Little Gem, Saladin and Marvel of Four Season lettuces - have been doing great guns in our windowsill propagators. Photo of the peas and Little Gems shows the progress they've made.
Thing is, I don't really know what to do next and when. Is it safe for me to put some of these little chaps outside in my unheated mini greenhouse? Do I leave them in the propagator with or without the lid on? How big do the plants need to get before I get start transferring them elsewhere or putting them in the ground?
This is the problem with being a novice...

I would put them outside into a coldframe/unheated greenhouse and keep it shut up at night until the frosts are over and then plant it all out. If they start to get to big for the propagator cells pot them on into small pots and keep them in the same place. But get them out asap as soon they will start to get leggy-the voice of bitter experience!!
