Mine's like that too - but much smaller
My seeds are from nellie-m with a note:-
"Be warned: the plants look pathetic. Wispy foliage, always hanging down as if about to die of thirst, but watering doesn't help........its just the way it looks, At first I was tempted to pull them up and plant some others, but I'm glad I didn't. Here is a large tomato that doesn't need ages to ripen, tastes great, produces well and looks fantastic. Do give it a try."
Reassuring, isn't it!

I've found this with Black Russian toms.
The plants always look horrible spindly things but the tomatoes are gorgeous!

If that had been mine it would have been repotted in a 10 litre pot and the stem would have been 1/2 buried.
Having read VC's post I would still do it.
Feed the soil, not the plants.

Apparently, its the same as Striped Roman - more at http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ml#post1492313

You tie up the main stem, and when it' s bigger the stem will beef up a bit, but the leaves always look droopy. There are a few of these droopy varieties about - you get used to them in the end
