good point, he was there when i was transplanting them and he was saying how not to put them up to the first leaves because it'd rott! It upsets me a tidbit since thats not the case as if I had buried the stems a bit more we wouldn't have to tie them, and i'd imagine, the plant'd be a bit stronger.

Nevermind ;-)
