My plants have looked like this for almost two weeks now... is this normal? they seem pretty spindly and aren't getting any leaves.
I have them in my south-facing kitchen unless it is warm emough (over 65) to put them in the sun porch. Both are on the south side of the building, and I'm in Kansas City MO.

They are spindly and leaning toward the light because they are not getting nearly enough light. You have two choices: put a fluorescent light right over them, just a couple inches away and leave it on 16 hrs a day or get them outside. The spinach and chard, once hardened off, are very cold hardy and frost tolerant and it is probably about time for you to be planting them outside anyway. Beans are NOT frost tolerant and probably need to wait longer.
