Cherries Deep?

[Starlight]

It's a little bit too soon, for the second transplant, but while I am thinking about it, when I next transplant these cherries from 6 packs, should I bury them?

These are some MMM cherry seedlings. Poor things. They outside, then inside and so goes the circle between 80's and 90F and then frosts and rain. Today they get fresh air, tomorrow it's back inside from the 60mph winds, hail and rain we got coming.

I start everything in 1/2" x 1/2" seed cells. When they had a couple sets of true leaves I started transplanting. Normally, with the bigger types of tomatoes I bury all the way down first time to cotyledon. This time I didn't. I didn't bury them at all because there wasn't even a 1/16" between the cotyledon and the first set of true leaves and I was afraid of rotting stem or leaves.

Today I notice I have a little better than an inch where the cotyledons were. All these tomatoes are new to me, so I have no idea what the stems in young seedling growth should look like. Right now the stems look so delicate for the foliage. I don't know if that is normal or not.

When I get ready for the next transplant should I bury them deeper and how far up the stem should I go? Just to where cotyledon was or bury more bottom true leaves?

Also, if you don't mind, do you remove bottom leaves on these types the same as larger size tomato plants?

Some MMM babies, out quick for a pic on a windy day. Yellow on leaves is not disease. Two days of rain and pollen is stuck on everything including the plants.
