Ricinus Caremencita from seed

I thought I would give these a shot this year, and sowed the seeds (beans would be more accurate) a couple of weeks ago. I think it is safe to say that these are quite enthusiastic plants as I have had a germination rate of approximately 98%, and now have a load of rather large seedlings.

I am going to have to move them on in the next few days, but I am unsure how deep to sink them - the cotyledons are right near the top of the stems which are 6-8 inches tall, so do I sink the full stem up to the cotyledons?

 

I thought I was behind myself for sowings to be honest, I am usually a lot earlier than this. I don't think they are leggy as such, as these huge things essentially uncurled out of the beans over the course of a few days - they certainly seem to have a zest for life!

 

I'll hopefully get them out into the greenhouse and potted on this weekend - that should calm their jets a bit.

 

I am going to put the heat in there from this weekend with the digital thermostat programmed to kick the heating in at 10º as a minimum.
