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!

You could try potting them DEEP they will throw roots up the stem,
well worth trying rather than just dumping them.
