Yes, they dried up. The seedlings were about 2 inches tall but they
all fell over and withered up. After I returned them to the dark,
and controlled their humidity, 10 percent of them perked up again.

I think I ought to buy a photometer.


My tomatoes were started from seed in a 5-gallon bucket. They were then
placed next to the patio door (south window) and allowed to grow.
There's probably about 2 feet of space between the window and the
plants. The more sun they get, the taller they grow. The more water
they get the more they grow. I'm looking for tomatoes sometime in March.

I don't think you can have too much light for plants, but that could be
an interesting experiment.

Oh and don't rule the other tomatoes out yet. They may come back "from
the dead." Last year we had about 18 do that. (That was supposed to be
the whole planting too. We replaced them and up come the original
plants. They were a little better established, though.)

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we
still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a
particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind
ourselves of what we once had.
