| If they are too tall and I am not ready to plant out yet I pinch em back a lil . HTH.. Good luck! |

| I've had quite a few things that are really leggy. Though if I pinches them back all that would be left is stem. Will they survive that? |

| booklife, no, you cannot pinch back to stem only and expect them to survive. Some I wouldn't pinch back at all, some shrubs, trees, perennials come to mind.... What do you guys have that is so leggy? I don't usually encounter leggy outdoors in real sun - did you use containers that let in light - do you have them in shade or sun? |

Just leave them be. They'll be fine. Just take the top off.
Like morz said---What are they? |
