Moving seedlings

Hi all, windowsills are getting pretty full, just wondering if it would be okay to move the seed trays to the mini greenhouse outside? I have cosmos, thyme , marigolds, kale all sprouted but still at 2 leaf stage. Should I wait a bit longer do you think? I'm in Norfolk...

I'm slightly further north than you and moved a few of mine yesterday, there's rumours of further cold weather coming at the end of the month so I only moved my more established seedlings and those capable of withstanding a chill

Mine have been in the mini greenhouse since I started them a month ago. I have peas, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, raddish and salad leaves, all seem happy enough.

Thanks all, might risk it and hope for the best... Can always try and provide a bit more insulation if things get colder....
I hope not as planted some salad leaves and radishes straight into ground yesterday!

I would say they would be fine in a mini greenhouse now. If you have cucumber or marrow seedlings then they might suffer...

I was going to wait a while to sow cucumber. I've not grown it before, but planned to sow similar time to courgette,does that sound right?

Cucumber, courgette and melon..all in the same family. Dead easy from seed but they are lovers of warmth. I'd start in pots in mid Apr. Seeds are very large. Sow two to a pot and remove the weakest. If you are going to plant out then start to harden off mid May but don't plant till all danger of frost is gone...same goes for runner beans too...
