when you repot/plant the seedlings, you can also plant them deeper than they are now - the stems will grow additional roots!

These are the original tray…I’ve been struggling with tomatoes, but everything else is doing well!

When y'all plant seedlings that were leggy into the ground, be sure to put them in at a diagonal because roots growing out the side will make a stronger, more productive plant
