Leggy seedlings

<< < (6/7) > >>

mysticmog:
Here here DD - patience is a virtue but so is having stuff growing...

All seedlings now planted nice n deep and ready to make loverly big root structures...

Sorry but I just couldnt kill them...so cruel and heartless after they made the effort to show their faces (and very long bodies).

Interesting to see so much differing opinion though...

tim:
Not really - look how many ways there are to boil an egg!! = Tim

PS - MM - you will keep the photo up-to-date, won't you?

The gardener:
Thanks DD for that explanation.

I knew that the deeper you planted them the better the root system, and similarly about earthing them up to encourage a bigger root system.
After all they are of the potato family so similar culture is expected.
I hinted about this with my first reply, i.e. plant deep, and the possibility of potting on before they go into final quarters.
The thing that threw me was pulling off the leaves

thanks again!

mysticmog:
Yep Tim, gonna be grainy n all cos of ickly low resolution camera, but will update when they do something interesting...

mysticmog:
Ha ha!!  For all those who doubt me tomato growing enthusiasm, here is proof that they still alive...(this was 2 weeks ago - have many loverly leaves now)



And me cabbages are ok, but flaggin, so maybe you were right afterall  ;D
