I'd pot them up in reasonable sized pots to give root room and place outside. Then bring them into shelter for winter. They won't grow any faster if kept in over summer.

Mine self sow everywhere, and take their chances but if you have specifically grown them a bit of TLC in winter will ensure a higher survival rate. :wink:
Best regards
