Help - they have gone very very leggy in the greenhouse, should I plant them out and hope for the best, trim them down to encourage side shoots if they will or compost them.  Any advice would be good.  |

Plant them as deeply as you can Lillieb. I think we have all been guilty of this at some time in our lives.

As Lou and Cherry said, they can still be planted out I usually cut off the other leaves until only about 4 or 6 remains at the very top of the plant and then bury the entire leggy stem in the ground, most of them grow more roots that way |
