Plant progress

I split the towel-tomatoes into two pots, as I had already done for the more advanced Roma tomato seedlings; the two largest in a pot of their own and the other two put in along with the two runtish remainers. The single outdoor-germinated towel-tomato is still suspended between life and damping-off, and has yet to show any signs of opening its seedleaves. Likewise the dark-leaf chillies: I had four germinate, of which one damped off and another appears to have lost its seedleaves while extracting itself from the seed (but has still straightened up into an erect stem on its own!), and the other two are just seeds on stalks.

The Demon Red chillies have been moved constantly in and outdoors in a quest to get them both as much warmth and as much light as possible, but only one has yet shown any sign of adult leaf. The second most advanced one collapsed and died suddenly after being out in the rain, which was presumably mechanical damage from an injudicious raindrop! The rest are very puny, but then I only really need one survivor this year...

The pak choi are bolting, as they did last year, and I have been eating them. I planted some of my saved nasturtium seed in one of the empty pots, and we shall see how it compares with the (two) commercial seeds that have successfully come up.
