Hi there, DD7 bought home these planted seeds from gardening club and they've now started to sprout/grow. There's Nasturtium (gone long and floppy), poached egg flower and marigolds.
They look too young and small to plant out but equally look like they're dying a bit/not surviving how they are. Picture attached! Any pointers as to how I can keep them alive would be much appreciated! Thanks

Poached egg you can sow straight in the bed so I would thin out and plant out in a bed or bigger pot.

Nasturtium is also tough and should be fine outdoors.

Marigold is very attractive to slugs so maybe keep that in pots until bigger

That's brilliant, thank you so much!

They’ve lacked light, which is why they’re leggy. You could put them out and risk the frost. Or you could carefully repot ( don’t touch the roots, hold by the leaves) into deeper flowerpots and put them outside in the day and bring them in at night, until they have more leaves.
