Seedlings

My seedlings have become very spindely. They are ready to start going
to the green house for daily visits. My question is will they improve
and become sturdy? I know they should be transplanted into deeper dirt
but I really don't want to do that yet. Opinions? Ideas?

Sound like they are reaching for light.

I know and they are about to get lots but will they fill out a little
or will they just get top heavy and break?

I find they will fill out. IF they can make through the first
transplanting. I plant four times the seedlings I need and choose the the
stoutest plants. More light is needed for your seedlings.
