Default Tomato seedlings

What is it with tomato seedlings. Blinking things..
I sowed Sungold, G. Delight and money-maker about a week ago, checked
every day and not a shoot or anything appearing. Checked sometimes twice
a day1

then didn't bother yesterday, but looked in the cupboard where I
germinate them and what did I find.
Stalks about 14 foot long! Well... OK maybe not 14 foot but really
etiolated seedlings which are no good for anything.
They did it on purpose.
I don't mind with the G. delight or the Money-maker but Sungold are
quite expensive.

I guess I'll have to buy some Sungold and sow them all again now.


Janet, the same happened with ours last week, it took just a couple of
days and there were like triffids. I have sown more and am keeping an
eye on these!
