seedlings

I messed with them. I separated some Sasha's Pride where two were growing in one cell (despite attempts to just put in one -- can seeds grow twins? ;-) )  Pulled as gently as I could. The roots are about three times as long as what I can see on top; I'm impressed! 

Several of the Montana are doubled and tripled... leaving them for now.  Really don't know how I managed to drop three seeds into one hole in one case.  One cell is growing something that isn't a tomato (along with a tomato). The stem is slender, the leaves are quite different. The basil are still much smaller so I doubt it's that, but what *is* it?

I pulled seedcaps off where they were still stuck. Couldn't stand it. Only ripped the leaves on one.

One poor little Sasha is just a stub. No leaves at all. Green and standing straight up, but no leaves. My thalidomide baby.

All of the basil have sprouted. Some of those are double or triple, but those seeds are much tinier, so not surprised. No sign of chives yet, but I planted those just a couple of days ago.

I patted things down and built up the soil around the leggiest ones. Most of them are working on a set of true leaves!  We'll see tomorrow what I killed and what continues to live... lots are looking kind of floppy, but I don't know what's normal. Maybe I need to bring in a little fan, if I can find one, as I've seen recommended.
