  3. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 7.5cm (3in) pots or trays.
  4. Acclimatization: Gradually acclimatize young plants to outdoor conditions for a few weeks before planting out after the risk of frost has passed.
  5. Planting: Plant 23-30cm (9-12in) apart in a light, well-drained soil and full sun.
  6. Overwintering: Before the autumn frosts, lift the plants, pot them up and over winter indoors on a well-lit windowsill or frost-free greenhouse. Keep the compost just barely moist until spring, when they can be planted out again.
