Flower Sprouts

 Morning all...these are my two trays of flower sprouts which are coming along fine..the question is should I now re pot them individually.. Keep them in the trays till planting out or plant them out now..maybe that too early.. Couple of them are getting a bit droopy.. Thanks

    I would pot them on individually into small pots. They're too small to be planted out and they won't grow to their full potential if they remain close to each other.

    What are they?

    Just southwest of Norwich, but we're in Lincs today.

    I saw those flower sprouts in a magazine. Not grown them myself but I'd grow them as ordinary Brussels sprouts. When you pot them up you can bury the stems up to the lower leaves, that'll stop them flopping and you'll get nice sturdy plants.
