They get transplanted to a bed alongside the garden. Just a 3x8' bed. And there was one large pot (nursery container) that had zinnias in it up by the house with the tomatoes. I guess I probably could start them inside and then set the packs out on the porch to grow off.

This week we'll have 80's but April beings cold snaps too. I don't like to set summer stuff out in the garden before the end of April because there will always be one more frost. That means the hassle of covering up a lot of stuff for a night or two and, just call me lazy, I just don't want to mess with that.
