uk outdoor grow from seed????

hi peeps

ive never grown outside before, how does it work? i have no option to veg inside which is a shame so a outdoor grow from seed is the only option. wont they go into flower from seed in the uk because of the amount of light we get?? would i be better of with auto's or can i use regular strains?

any help much appreciated and + rep
