Default Tomato Seedlings Thin and Spindly



Grown in a tray on a window sill - they are much thinner than normal.
(They germinated very quickly within 7 days 23 out of 25 were through
and about 2cms high) - no under"floor" heating.

I saw on a programme tonight on TV the gardener was stroking the
seedlings to simulate wind movement - and thicken up stems

Is it worth doing?


I assume that when I pot on if I bury most of the stem, then it's
spindliness won't matter anyway?
