Swiss Chard Seedling – Keep or Discard?

[Tommy RyanParticipant]

I have had some successful seed sowing this year with my new led lights and tables. I have had one troublesome tray that I am not sure is worth keeping. My swiss chard got a bit leggy due to keeping on the heat mat a bit too long. I have put it in a proper place now and have a fan on them.

They are now practically all laying over, but look healthy from a color perspective. Wondering if I should cut my losses and start again or salvage these. Was thinking about getting them into the ground after a full set of true leaves emerge and just bury up most of the long stem.

Thoughts? Keep or Discard. See attached picture to see current condition. Color is good, but floppiness is quite bad.
