    Where have you got to put them outside-ish...a greenhouse, coldframe etc? Mine go out into an unheated greenhouse as soon as the first few pop above the soil.

        Personally, I'd leave them indoors until this cold snap is over; and then pop them out on a decently sunny day with some bubble wrap under and fleece over.

        Mine literally go out when I can see green. But my greenhouse is quite sheltered.

              Mine are in a mini gh inside the greenhouse .........they've been in there since they were sown with a prop lid over them at first . As soon as they started popping up I took the lid off . So far so good ...but I can stick the lid back on if It gets really cold ..

                Bolting means throwing up a flower and going to seed prematurely ~ so no, they won't do that
