Yes, I assume you mean replant them outside. Just don't start them too early as they will strive for light and become too leggy. A good way to start them is to put them in the refrigerator in a dark, paper bag that doesn't let the light in. Keep them in the frig for at least 12 weeks. Start them about 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Different bulbs have different grow rates and light requirements, so check on that before forcing inside.
