Planting first seeds

A few days ago I put cabbage and broccoli raab seeds into grow cubes to sprout for the hydroponics unit. The cabbage seeds were fresher, and came up fast. But they got leggy on me. The raab sprouts are short and stumpy. So I may start another set of cubes with new cabbage seed, and keep them outdoors to grow slower and shorter. the leggy ones will get planted in dirt, deep enough to cover their long stems.
