Sorry, should have made that plain. Just let them grow, as sotongeoff says. You pinch them out when they have been potted on and are several inches high. You could have a look in garden centres at the shape of their larger petunia plants, later on in the season, and compare yours to see if they need pinching out.
When they are big enough to handle-in a few weeks-you need to transplant them into a seed tray as individual seedlings or into individual modules to get separate plants.
But not just yet
It is coming along-how are the strawberries doing?
the straw seedlings all have one true leaf each which seem to be getting bigger every day( albeit still very small) the strawb plants outside dont seem to have got any bigger but i dont check them every day.

i have one for example that is so much taller than the rest. what do u mean exactly by pinch out the tops?
David again relax-you are getting ahead of yourself-just leave them alone
The pinching out stage is when they are big plants-in about 2/3 months

David -to me it looks like another couple of weeks and they will need pricking out-from that picture they don't look big enough to handle yet
