Alpine Stawberries

I have just picked up 10 Alpine strawberry plants which are about 3-4" high. Should I pot them and leave them on the windowsill or could I put them outside in my mini greenhouse? Thanks in advance :T

Depends where they've been...
Do you mean you picked them up from a shop or a garden centre?
If they've been somewhere fairly chilly then you can put them in the mini green house, once they're acclimatised they can stay outside all year round as they're tough as nails, but if they've come from a warm shop the shock of going outside could kill'em

Thanks Nodwah :T

When I say "pick up" it was off of the mat as they just came through the front door They have been wrapped in bubble wrap so I am not going to take any chances, It`s on the window sill for a while and then out to the greenhouse before planting in tubs and hanging baskets.
