igenlodeI did eventually get round to splitting up the beetroot. I also split up the pink Linaria, which had become very tangled together, and gave the plants sticks to stop them flopping everywhere.
I hope they do better than the coriander, where two-thirds of the seedlings I pricked out have simply died -- admittedly I did observe at the time that there wasn't much root on them, and it has meant that the remaining seedlings in the original pot have been less crowded.
The original towel-tomatoes, which I was about ready to pull out as soon as their last fruits had ripened, do seem to have started to put out some 'normal' straight side-shoots from in amongst their badly curled and dwarfed prior growth, so may have some more life left in them. There are actually some more small green tomatoes hidden in there, as well, so they have apparently been flowering; it's just that the state of the foliage was so bad that you couldn't see the tips of the plants any more :-(
The catch-up tomato hasn't ripened any fruit yet, but is laden with green fruit and fresh flowers. The Roma tomato is also thriving, and has another two trusses of full-size (or as large as they are ever likely to get) fruit on it.
