My Tomato Seedlings

Here's a picture of my tomato seedlings. The problem is I'm not sure what to do next? Can anyone help me please?

Hi,

Congratulations on starting your own tomatoes from seed. It's not always an easy thing to do.
Your seedlings look a little tall and spindly already, and you may have trouble with them starting to fall over soon. I suggest that you get them into some bigger pots. Just take that whole peat pot, put in in a larger pot and add soil all the way up to the bottom of the seed leaves. You also need to get them into some stronger light or the same thing will keep happening. If you don't have them under grow lights, you can gradually start putting them outside if it's above freezing. But not for too long at first so that they don't get sunburned.

~Thank you so much. I was wondering about that. We are very rainy here the last week, so I've been putting them under a fluorescent light I have. I will put them in new pots today and give that a try. Thanks again for the advice!

I am going to start my tomatoes tomorrow (I am always behind schedule), so your pictures are very helpful!

I hope mine look like that soon. If I get the much desired digital camera for my 30th birthday I'll post some photos of the tomato plants (seeds planted yesterday) on my blog too.
Last year was my first growing tomatoes and they worked a treat planted in a window box (left on the ground) with bamboo canes for support.
Enjoy the fruits of your labour, nothing tastes better than those you grow yourself.
