Some cautions: if they don't get enough sun, they might get leggy. Whenever you start them, it might be best to transplant into the pots as late as you can stand it.
Pollination - someone suggested a fan to help that along after they bloom. Good suggestion, although frequent brushing or shaking the plant gently would get the job done, or a session with an electric toothbrush. But for real success, go with earlier varieties. Stupice and Bloody Butcher have been the earliest-but-still-tasty salad-sized ones for me, and Pink Honey has been a real early heart one.
