Spindly Nemesias

I have this year grown "Nemesia" from seed and the plants are currently in
pots. Pictures at http://tinyurl.com/z3lut I am concerned that some
of the stems are very thin and the plants get easily blown about in the
wind.

This is the first time I have grown something from seed and my first
experience with Nemesias.I don't want to plant them in the ground and find
the plants stems broken by the wind etc

What do you reckon I should do ?
Thanks.

They need hardening off - put them outside asap !!
They are a spindly/floppy sort of plant anyway:

Look fine to me, just stick them out in their pots. Was a bit confused
by the picture of the Hebe at first:)
