Hi everyone, I have a question for you experienced wintersowers:

When is it better to plant out the seedlings? Ideally, should the plants go in the ground asap, OR is it better to keep them in the containers for as long as possible (until they're outgrowing the container)? I was wondering if there is any difference that people have noticed in terms of how soon they bloom, how vigorous they are, etc. depending on when you plant them out

I'm talking really hardy things here like poppies, lupins, & violas that can take some frost - obviously no tender stuff up here yet.
