The reason seedlings become leggy indoors is because of too much heat and not enough light.Keep the seedlings as near the light as possible and only give amount of heat required to allow growth.

Can you replant fall bulbs in the spring after starting them inside?

Yes, I assume you mean replant them outside. Just don't start them too early as they will strive for light and become too leggy. A good way to start them is to put them in the refrigerator in a dark, paper bag that doesn't let the light in. Keep them in the frig for at least 12 weeks. Start them about 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Different bulbs have different grow rates and light requirements, so check on that before forcing inside. You should be able to transplant them to an outside location. Kevlarster
