If the pix are too big it's a problem @Mickgall. Not your fault though, it's the site and the issue has been a pain for years If they're absolutely bursting out of the pots, you could move them on, but otherwise they're better left for a little while yet. It's a good idea to pinch them out though as it keeps them bushy, and prevents them being etiolated [leggy and weak] which is always a problem in the weeks/months of fewer daylight hours. It's a common problem with autumn sown seed

Hello Fairygirl, thanks for sorting the pic out and the advice. I usually buy small plants from the garden centre but thought I'd have a go at growing my own this year. Ive pinched them out once already so will do it again in a few weeks when I repot them. Mick
They look very good - that's a great little set of plants you have now I rarely do autumn ones because spring sown ones catch up anyway, but it can be an advantage in milder areas, and you could also sow more in another month to give you a succession if those ones finish a bit early. That's quite common in very hot, dry weather. Hope they continue to do well for you
