tenderstem broc! Lovely  :D   If your seedlings are getting leggy pot them on into a bigger pot with fresh potting compost and give them a water with some feed added, either seaweed or phostregon etc.  When they're big enough, and the weather allows they can be planted out with protection from slugs, pigeons and rabbits. They like firm soil  :D

I invested in some Enviromesh for my brassicas as we have every pest in Christendom on our plots so I cover them as soon as they're planted. You still need to protect from slugs though
