I'm not familiar with rain gutter grow systems, so I don't know much help I can be. If it was a regular garden, I'd plant them deep if leggy, mulch with straw to reduce soil splash back and be excited to come home to happy plants that got to experience a warm, sunny and occasionally stormy period opposed to sitting in a garage for a week. Hope someone that knows rain gutter grow systems can chime in. Your plants look healthy and happy.

Looks great. The rain gutter system looks interesting. I think your tomatoes are happy to be outside, especially with the warmth over the state.
