Rocket Tricia seeds

I sowed the free Rocket seeds in a half seed tray indoors on 21/2/21 and they germinated but have quickly grown to look like Cress! The stems are feeble and the seedlings have nearly all toppled over. Wondering whether to bother pot them on or start from scratch.

    Hi Jeannie, welcome to the forum.
    It may be a good idea to start again. Sowing seeds early in the year can result in weak plants as they struggle to get enough light. It's always very tempting to get started as soon as the sun peeps through the clouds but most plants will thank you for holding off a while. The tall, lanky, weak plants never seem to do that well during the year but the ones sown a bit later can romp away and do far better.

    If you decide to start again, you could eat them like cress.
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
