If you plant them out small enough (like just after they have a true set of leaves), they will take to it just fine. I don't nick my seeds at all, but have either sown them into a 'near mud' container (winter sowing method- I used a deep deli-salad container that particular time), or soaked them without nicking in luke-warm water, and planted them directly (because I was WAY late getting them in). And FWIW, I have grown them indoors just to decorate a window, and they do fine, too. (My setup is at the office where we can't 'attach' anything to the windows, but I have two spring-loaded curtain rods outfitted with a fishing-line web that is nearly invisible.)

My seedlings (started in jug) were frosted to stiffness in 28 degree weather the other night and they LIVED!!! Amazing! Now the temp is above freezing but we have frozen stuff falling out of the sky. I'm assuming everything will be fine. It's been very warm lately for a while and yesterday it was above 60 so I'll bet the soil is very warm and protecting the plants as it radiates heat. At least, I'm hoping. I know some things are not supposed to transplant well, but I'm wondering if transplanting small seedlings negates that. I don't know, this is my first time to wintersow. The roots of these small seedlings are all healthy but small. I wonder if that makes them amiable to trasplanting. It would be nice to hear somebody with knowledge of this chime in. My morning glories all had their true leaves and were 1-2 inches tall. They seem to be happy and growing well. They do germinate fast if nicked, so I would think direct sowing would be nice, as well. My first year to grow them, but the ones I nicked literally showed germination in 2 days in a jug.

I bet it was an awesome sight!
