Weeds grow far better outside, even this time of the year. But they do need to be sown in a sheltered place, with sun when its around.
You can seed up a seed tray, water then cover with a sheet of plastic to help germination. If you can do three trays, one sown, one growing and one ready to eat, it helps:0)
I used to sow seeds this time of the year in my garden, ready to grow for the Spring. I dont have to now as they self seed themselves now:0)
