Last year I placed all the planted seeds in an unheated greenhouse.
thyey germinated about 4 weeks ahead of what they would have outside.
The germination rate was lower. Next year I'm going to leave them
outside for two months and then bring them in. We set up a picnic
table inside the greenhouse amd had several picnics out there in
January and Febuary. On sunny days it got up to 25 degrees C, about 80
degrees F.
