Yes, that's what I did. Plant them indoors, and move outside as soon as night temperature is above 10 °C. For best results, you can even plant them indoors now or in September/November, most likely you will able to keep them alive and mature to next spring and you will get better results.
After moving outside, need to remove all old leaves (they are going to die anyway) and keep only latest, young leaf.
