I bought a seed starting kit/mini green house from wal-mart. I put my seeds in there 3 weeks ago and they just started sprouting today. They are in the little peet pots that came with the green house. Should I repot them or just leave them alone? And what do I need to do to make sure they keep growing??

Don't repot them immediately after sprouting, let those roots and plants grow a little, before you expose them to a shock from repotting. 1 or 2 months should be sufficient. Be extremely gentle and careful when repotting and congratulations!

Like Jack said keep them where they are, and move them gradually to a larger pot. Walmart sells everything these days? lol :^)
