Help! How do I save my swiss chard?

Jovan Coleman

I planted my first garden in jiffy pellets in the begining of March and I may have gone a little (or alot) crazy with the seaweed fertilizer. As a result, all of my plants have shot up but they are all very leggy (except for the squash seedlings, which seem to inhale the stuff). My swiss chard got the worst of it, though. It is still producing leaves and growing but the stems are very weak. They don't stand up just sprawl on the ground like the world's laziest vines. The spinach mustard has this problem as well. My tomatoes are standing up but the stems are thin and there is alot of space between the ground and the first leaves. They are all still growing fine so I am reluctant to give up on them but I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
