Can i sow leeks in 2" pots and place them in the glasshouse(cold) to germinate? or is it too cold?

I sowed musselburgh leeks 10 days ago in a seed tray. They are germinating now, and have been in a fairly cold kitchen window (we only have the heating on for a few hours in the evening each day to save oil!). I'm going to prick them out into modules when they are a bit bigger, then put them in my unheated polytunnel. Go ahead and sow!

mine have already germinated..about 1" tall now. like youself they are in the kitchen under the window. im going to transplant them to 4" pots in a week or so..but when thay can be moved to greenhouse until they're ready to plant in the ground..

Hi guys I just sowed my leeks in three big pots today. They are each about a ft. deep. I am hoping to transfer them into the garden in may. That will be the only transplant I will do I hope!
