Well, Brenda, I am ashamed to admit that I've had some pots of
seedlings sitting waiting for potting on for 2 years or so...poor
dears. So, I would say you an safely leave them over winter and pot
on in spring when you can put them outside. Give them some mild
feeds of liquid plant food and watch the pots as they will tend to
dry out faster as the seedling roots fill them.
You may have to resort to the hydraulic method of separating them
come spring:-)
