I have started some off in 3 inch pots. (I cannot put in final place
yet)

If I pot on - should I cover some of the stem like you do with
tomatoes?



If they are getting leggy I think it is always a good idea to repot and
plant them very deep to the bottom of perhaps a bigger pot. And then wait,
it's not been the best of springs this year. I think every gardener in the
UK is holding back planting out the various flowers, veg and cutting until
the weather is better. You are not alone, we are all frothing at the mouth
hoping for spring to actually spring.

Good luck
