my leek seedlings have started to seperate into two, they're about 3-4" above surface now too. I've thinned them out, but they're looking rather thin & bendy....do i need to repot in a deeper container now? :? (putting them in deeper)

yeah you could if you think they're looking leggy and spindly. Fresh compost and deeper

Next time sow them in 4 inch pots, you could leave them in there until they are ready to go out, I normally put about 30 to a pot.

Here's how I grow my leek seedlings. I use empty fish boxes or as in this case a cut down broccoli box from the greengrocers.
