Hello! I think I know where you're coming from - these are my nasturtiums... and they look kinda "leggy" to me, too. Plus, I don't know if they're supposed to stand up straight, or if they're meant to kinda flop over. I've been propping them up a bit with these taped closed drinking straws.

They love to press their little leaves up on the window screen to try to get at the sun, and I rotate the box every couple of days. They seem reasonably healthy.

Did you ever repot yours to cover up the "legs"?

and,

how are your sweet peas doing? The sweet peas seeds I planted in a little peat pod greenhouse never sprouted. Did you soak your seeds or anything?
