Valid! We also should not have let the tomatoes get so leggy, but we're doing what we can with what we got :)
The good news for tomatoes at least is that you can bury them deep when you transplant!
I was wondering if we should - is there such a thing as too deep as long as the leaves are exposed?
I don't know that there's really such a thing as too deep, but I've personally never put more than half of the seedling's stem below the ground when I transplant them.
Good to know, thank you!
