Broccoli seeds sprouting

I got a nice surprise this afternoon when I was checking the pots to see if any seeds were drying out. Cute little broccoli sprouts pushing up through the top dirt. I didn't think that broccoli seeds would sprout so quickly though I'm so happy they did.

As with the other seeds I planted the plastic cover has to be left off now that the sprouts are showing. I am also stacking some scraps of cardboard under the pot to ensure the sprouts are only about 2-3 inches away from the light. I am doing it this way in hopes that the sprouts won't get leggy.

Updated: How quickly they grew in only 8 days!
