Re: Transplanting seedlings

So are my 3-4 inch tomato seedlings (that are just starting their
second leaflets) too leggy ?  I have them on my table in a bay window
with skylights... is this still not enought light ?  If these are
leggy from too little sunlight, should I start over or can these be
saved ?

Sincerely,
