      Hiya Tach :)
      well not really. :sad: They would get lost out there and struggle over winter. I suggest you pot them up into 9cm pots and keep in the greenhouse, a cold frame or other protected area. Come next spring you will have plants eager to grow fast and you can plant these out or, ideally, pot on again to produce bigger plants for the great outdoors:)
