Leggy Seedlings

[Earthymama]

I'm growing various veggies from seed and have 2 questions:-
When should I plant out Dwarf French Beans (that are the Beans from Jack and the Beanstalk), they are about 3-4 ins high, is it too cold?
I've got some tomato seeds in and they are producing 'leggy' long fragile seedlings; is this normal? Shall I just leave them to grow bigger and stronger or is anything I can do?
Just off to allotment so check in later
Many thanks!!

where are the tomatoes at the moment? Our tomato seedlings went leggy due to lack of light (propogator on kitchen windowsill) - moved them outside against a southfacing wall and they have plumped out really well.

Have also moved beans outside - we're in the Thames valley so no more risk of frost and will plant out this weekend.

My tomato seedlings are also long and leggy. I transplanted them into larger pots at the weekend and hope they will get stronger. It's the first time I've grown them from seed so don't know if it's normal though!

Yes it could be lack of light I'll move them now. I guess I might be buying plants as usual!! I get SO seduced by the seed catalogues Not like the old days!!
I think the beans can probably be hardened off in little cold frame and planted next week. Please let me know how you get on with your plants. EM
