I wouldn't plant the foxgloves into the ground, but get them outside in their trays. They are really woodland plants so prefer cool shady conditions, although they will tolerate sun. When they begin to show signs of growth and they are have been outside for a few weeks, then plant them in the ground.

Ah great thank you! I originally wanted to plant them in the part of my garden that gets none to a tiny bit of sun but the seed packet said they needed full to partial sun! So would I be ok to put them in total shade as that means I dont have to mess around with my garden plans?
Foxgloves, carrots and onions don’t want to be grown in a propagator, you won’t be able to transplant the carrots into your beds, they are best sown directly into the ground, Put the foxgloves outside, don’t water them until they are dryer, they look very wet, keep them under cover for a while so they don’t get rained on. The 4 onions you can plant out now.
Thank you! So the carrots cant be saved?
When you say put the foxgloves outside do you mean plant them out or just get the tray outside? Would covering them with a plastic container with some holes in be ok? Should I start with them out in the shade and slowly move them towards full sun?
Carrots don't like growing in one place and moved to another - the best way is to sow the seeds directly where you wish them to grow. They don't like stones either as this will cause them to 'fork' when growing.
Mix 2tbsp of white,granulated sugar with 1tbsp of water and place on a spoon for a Bee to reach. Sometimes they're too exhausted to reach back to the hives when it's hot and dry.

Thank you! Would it be too late to sow some more now?
I'd say that's a big part of the problem, as you need to remove the lid to prevent the issue you have. The seedlings need to strengthen up and not be coddled, and the lid keeps them wet all the time too, which isn't good for creating a good root system. Lyn's right when she says most of those don't need the extra heat that you get in a propagator, and you can't transplant carrots .
Don't worry, it's all part of the learning process. If you have foxgloves left, you can sow a few of them direct, but if you follow what has been said about putting them outdoors, in semi shade, they should strengthen up. I think the carrots,onions and cabbage probably won't do very well, but you could always sow a few more and see how you get on.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Personally I wouldn't plant them in total shade. There are very few plants that will cope with that. See if you can find somewhere with some light for part of the day or in other words, dappled shade.

Lol that'll teach me to read home bargains instructions! If I were to put the veg seedlings outside now in the trays would they just die?
I know, I'm just sad for the poor babies really! I'm glad I'll hopefully be able to save the Foxgloves as they're what I was most excited about!
