The other seedlings that had bent their heads appear to have damped off before getting anywhere. However, one healthy Roma tomato is all I need... I have put the pot outside to join the single towel-tomato in the mini-greenhouse.
On the other hand, I *do* need more than one towel-tomato to get a useful crop (I'm not expecting the Roma to be very useful :-p). My replanted towel-tomatoes are just starting to bend their necks, after the scheduled week; we'll have to hope that they do better than the chillies, where I still haven't got a single successfully-opened seedling after a month -- the best that can be said for them is that they might survive and develop...
Lots of things have germinated in the mesembryanthemum pot, some of which are probably mesembryanthemums! The trouble is that growing indoors they become uncharacteristically leggy...
