Seedling question [View all]

Hello everyone. Hoping to get a little help from the experienced gardeners. I have two tubes in which I have started Hale and spring greens from seed. Both tubs have now gotten to the point where the second set of leaves have begun to grow on the seedlings. The plants however seem to be flimsy. Their color is good, strong green leaves and green in the stalk. When is the right time to start to transplant these seedlings. I believe we are past the worry of frost but am just not sure it is time yet in the plants growth cycle to transplant them. The Kale is about 3" tall and the greens vary, but most are about 4 1/2". Is there a growth sign on the plant I should be looking for? I thank all of you in advance for any information you could give me. Take care and have a wonderful day.
