Thin out Rocket seedlings?

Hi.  Please see attached a photo of my Rocket seedlings.  I've never grown it before.  I sowed the seeds on the 7th of April but they don't seem to have got much bigger?!  They're in sun until around 3pm and I don't let them dry out.  I'm wondering if they need to be thinned out to help them grow more?  I've added a 5p piece for a sense of scale.  Many thanks in advance.  :)

    I'd say too early to move.  They have only just started to develop their non-seed leaves, so you should always wait until that happens before potting up any seedlings. The seed leaves are usually the first two to appear, everything after that is the "adult" leaves.

    Hi @KeenOnGreen.  Thanks ever so much for your reply.  I thought I'd better check seeing as I've never grown them before; I thought they'd be bigger by now and that I was perhaps doing something wrong (and I'm also probably a bit too impatient!).  Thanks again.  :)
