They can indeed be a pain and unlike peppers putting them closer together doesn't work too well. Setting them deeper seems to help me though I am fortunate in that my garden area has some shelter from the wind.

Do you think a temporary stake to get them started inside those smallest cone shaped plant cages might help?
