I have written about this elsewhere. My seedlings can be up to 9-10" and luxurious. Then they just topple over because no roots are attached anymore. These topples all occur in a raised bed that has been a very successful vegetable garden. Recently, I might have saved at least 2 from nearly 30-odd topples by treating them similar to proliferations: trimming the leaves and putting them back in soil - elsewhere.

The experience has been disconcerting and it continues. At the moment, I am watching three about to flower for the first time. I can see, however, they will topple soon just be feeling how wobbly they are in the soil.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
