20°C by day and 15°C by night?
That's very nice weather! Thumbs up

Over here it has been 16°C by day and 6°C at night, with it going down to 13°C by day / 3°C a night next week.
Usually we have a nice, balmy September and October, but this year September was wet, wet, wet and October is cold Sad

Still, my seedlings seem to be doing fine. Lovey dubby
They are quite a bit larger than yours, but I started them earlier (August).

I do plan to keep them in their pots over the winter...
They are on a part of my porch where the cats (and the slugs!!) can't come and they are close together, so I can easily cover them with some gardenfleece if it should freeze at night. And should it get reálly cold, I can put them in the garage Hilarious!

I sprout them in a ziplock baggie in Perlite and some water.
As soon as they have a root and about an inch of green showing I put them in a seedling tray, in earth.
(I make a mixture of compost, peat, vermiculite and sand)

After about 4 weeks I repotted them in 1 gallon pots (4 liter), using the same mixture earth.
