Uh, trenching being 'dig a trench, lay the whole stem in it up to the leaves you left on, and bury the whole shebang'. I don't know if it _really_ helps, but they certainly don't fall to wind and rain as easily. :)

Roomfuls of leggy tomatoes are fun.

May Princess Kathy have plenty of baby plants soon!
