THIS week has been about salvaging some 'Tigerella' tomato seedlings that had grown rather leggy and floppy on our living room windowsill.
They had outgrown their modules and needed some stronger compost and more root room, and the solution was to re-pot them into larger containers so the depth of compost would give their stems better support and encourage them to root along their length.
I did a similar thing last year, moving some extremely tall young plants directly into grow bags. It was later in the season and this year's seedlings are still too young to go straight into the strong compost of a grow bag.
