    I think you could be right there. Thing is do I leave it in a pot in the greenhouse over the winter, or do I plant it out later this month and get it established and try to protect it with fleece? Mind you I do have three other seedlings so I could do half and half.:)

    Two of this years seedlings in the p/tunnel will overwinter them in there.

    Two outside planted close to shrubs so the soil stays dry overwinter see if they survive.
