Fritz, I have gently teased out seedlings like this and repotted them in same cell but deeper when I have this situation. Does require gentle hand though.

Once out in the greenhouse, I only water when the plants get very dry, and I use a tiny, tiny bit of Miracle Grow in the water, far below the recommended dose. The ultimate blend, plus the mycogrow I use are all nutrient uptake accelerators, so the plants can get by on a very small amount of fertilizer. Osmocote is the first real fertilizer I use. If I were starting plants later in the spring when it was warmer, I might begin using Osmocote at the six-pack stage, instead of the next transplanting into 4" pots. |

Here is mine:
I already planted out some of them, after taking the picture.

Finally my Prudens Purple tomato seedling is outside in a pot! Hopefully, tomatoes this summer. The rocks are to discourage squirrels from digging. I'll remove them when the plant has grown larger.

You have no reason to, remember Cole is a professional, has been gardening all his life and must have top class products if he wants customers to ignore the competition and gather round his stall.

Thank you for the compliment, Loulac. It's relative, though. I am just a hobbyist, if compared to AKMark.
Regarding legginess, I think you are correct. My plants have been transplanted twice by the time they reach 4" pots, stuffed down each time, which corrects legginess. It's more work, but it pays off. |

And Cole will say he is only an average hobbyist...

I've built a wooden shelf and I placed it in my balcony. I converted it into a tiny greenhouse by upholstering it with transparent plastic cloth. I keep my seedlings inside and I uncover it when it's warm and not windy. My plants are starting to look better. |

Powering ahead of the rest of this flat is the Russian tomato called "Viagra." It is indeed a symbol of virility. Among its peers it is by far the most erect.
