A trick I learned here on this group a few years ago, is to plant
really leggy tomatoes extra deep, even laying part of the stem down
underground. They will produce roots up the stem and give sturdier
plants.


A useful tip. I always plant out tomatoes from pots into the green
house by removing the first pair of leaves and planting the toms at
least 4-5 inches deeper than their level in the pots. They do indeed
produce toots from the buried stems very rapidly, to the plant's
advantage.

(Don't try this with cucumbers!!)
