When I pot the tomatoes on, I will bury them deep, but it's still annoying to see them shooting up all long and thin.
What do you do?

We've got another cold snap from tonight and over the weekend forecast, so I daren't put anything out just yet.
I very much enjoy gardening since it contributes to holistic living.

My problem was finding one that fitted between the fence and and the vine
As space was tight it took some finding for the small plastic storage unit which, after a lot of measuring beforehand, just fitted into the space as shown. That left a small area behind to put the large pots in out of the way
having even a small greenhouse makes all the difference. Plants can be brought on that much earlier ready for planting.
