Tomato - like the wimpy one next to it - all drawn up because of our lean-to. Just shows that you can't judge by the 'foliage'.
And trying to make the point that it's better to temper ones enthusiasm/impatience rather than waste unused compost & unsettle plants before they have a coherent rootball.

My Gardener's Delight have gone all leggy as well. Moved them into the mini greenhouse to start to harden off gently and they immediately got a bit of sun scorch. All the other toms have coped well.

Sarah - no, I

find that the cherries go leggy more quickly - in the same way that they grow on.

I have a feeling this also refers to my over eager transplanting of beetroots a while ago... :-[ :-X but hey ho, i'm a beginner, we're bound to get these things wrong lol!
Lesson learnt tho, thanks tim! ;) ;D

Mine are leggy too. But that looks like quite a big pot already, Tim? I had to pot mine on because they were falling over due to being top-heavy rather than because the roots had filled the pot.
