Chillies and tomatoes

igenlodeI now have two chillies definitely germinated and several more showing their necks; I did put quite a bit of seed in just in case, since I had plenty this year. The 'good' towel-tomatoes are germinating also, which feels very quick -- but in fact it has been a good ten days, apparently.
The Roma seedlings are not looking at all happy, and the towel-tomatoes, while much better developed, are starting to roll their seed-leaves a bit at the edges. I suspect both really want re-potting from their undrained containers into fresh compost (or at least *different* compost...), but it has been too cold to put them out at night and on some of the days, and I don't have space for multiple larger pots on the windowsill. I was intending to repot them when the true leaves had developed, but I think it may need to be done sooner. Although the new seedlings do at least demonstrate that the Roma seedlings actually have grown quite a bit since they started!
