Bedding stocksI have grown stocks from mini plants waiting to plant out do I need to pinch the tops?

I don't pinch them out and they do fine. if you are growing them in a greenhouse or similar don't forget to harden them off before putting them out in the garden.

To harden them off you put them outside during the day and bring them in on a night. after a week to 10 days they should be ready to go out into their final place. however if you have frost forecast for the day you want to plant them out just wait a day or two more.
