My tomatoe seedlings are little over a week old and are already over 5 cm each. I was wondering if I should put them deeper in the dirt, they seem a little unsturdy being so tall.
what do you think?

Yes, mine were very leggy too.. tall and fell/falling over like little worms - lesson learned for me (first time tomato seed grower) I think they need that light on them as they come up. My master-gardner/church friend.. said for me to go ahead and repot them. I did on March 26th from the little pluggy things to 3 inch peat pots.. they recovered after 3 days and started growing.. and look much, much better.
