After about a month in smaller containers my starts were getting crowded... Or more specifically, their roots were. I could tell they were feeling cramped when leaves kept turning yellow, indication nutrient deficiency. They were also drying out quickly.I transplanted the basil into long planters, perfect for the only south facing windows in my house. They will ride out the turbulent April and may indoors before getting planted outside in late may an early June.
I transplanted the broccoli outside, interspersed with Arugula and Chard seedlings I sowed directly outside a few weeks ago (It has mostly been slug food). The slugs seem to stay away from the broccoli for the most part - but there are a few new holes in some leaves every night.
My tomato starts are still in my grow room in my closet. They are the most sensitive, and still need UV lights 24 hours a day. They will go outside in June with the basil.
