Normal behavior, but I think you had the camera backwards!

Does everyone realize that wars and wealth revolve around the control of food?  Monsanto will soon control the world's wealth if they are not stopped.

Now if we can get through spring without a hard frost we will have a beautiful summer and fall with lots of fruit!

Don't let a flowering plant set seed unless you want it to spread.  If it's a bulb then snip off just the flower and it's stem.  Once the leaves are dead then chop to the ground.  The leaves are still providing food to the bulb as long as they are green.  It's actually getting the bulb "fat" and ready to flower next year.  You only braid or bundle leaves if you're bored and want to imtimidate the neighbors. :-)

Once a seedling gets its second set of leaves it should be transplanted to a container large enough to keep it from becoming root bound till it can be planted out after May 31.  You can try planting out before that but unless you want to cover nightly and uncover before the sun roasts it alive under the covering then you should wait.  Plants such as tomatoes and peppers aren't going to grow properly till the soil warms sufficiently anyway and cool weather early in the plant's formation can inhibit the amount and quality of fruit they will develop later in the season. 
 
Till then transplant up to a larger container like a styrofoam cup or a throw away container using some sort of potting mix.  Fertilize with 1/4 to 1/2 strength tomato food till they go into the ground.  Regular Miracle Grow is not meant for fruiting plants, it's meant for developing leaves.
 
Root bound plants are in trouble before they even hit the garden because they get stressed, it damages their immune systems and they go into shock which stops them temporarily from growing.  Grow a healthy root system and the plant will do the rest.
