If you look at the pots, you will find there is a mass of seedlings in it. It is not worth trying to keep them alive as there is simply not enough medium to support them all. Next time, when you get the pot home, remove all but two or three strong plants, pinch out the growing tip, and you may be able to keep them going.
The alternative is to prick them out into a very large pot or trough in the garden.
