Anyone know what these seedlings are? They are around 4 inches high and
growing rapidly. We've had lots come up in seed trays, plant pots etc.

They
look vaguely familiar somehow so I pricked these three out into a pot of
their own. The seeds must have originated in the multi purpose compost. My
first thought was tomato seedlings but we've lost all ours (and the

potatoes
too) to blight and whatever these are seem to be blight resistant, they

were
thriving next to the dying and blighted toms.

You are right they do look like a solanum of some sort but what they are I
will leave to someone else.
