    Hi DG, welcome to the forum. Make sure your seedlings get loads of light and wait. When they are big enough to handle without damaging them, gently separate them and put them in small pots of compost to grow bigger. What else have you got growing?

    Welcome to the forum DG.
    It's always very exciting when seeds you have sown yourself sprout, sometimes it catches you unaware just how quick they can germinate you can get quite giggly it's almost like being back at school and growing cress for te first time! :D

    As Terrier says the plants will need separating when they get at as decent handling size into their own little pots, just take care as few plants like to be treated rough I tend to tease my own seedlings out will a child's size fork which works really well. Hel.xxx.

    Hi Maggzy not sure what would be the best thing to do although I would nip the tops out myself, I'm sure others will come along and be of more help.Hel.xxx.
