Is this a tomato seedling???

[RomanX]

Someone I hadn't met yet (on another gardening site) sent me 5 seeds from what she said were Early Girl seeds. This strange looking (and acting, with stop and go growth) is the only sprout/seedling from 3 seeds. It's so tiny and doesn't even look like a tomato variety.

These photos were taken today, it's only about 1/2 inch tall, it was sown on the first of this month and germinated 6d later. It is now 24 days old. The other tomato varieties that were sown the same day rapidly outgrew it and got potted up: with this little stranger being transferred to a newly sprouted flat of tomato seedlings. When THEY matured and were potted up, I didn't have anyplace else to put it, so I potted up this tiny "EG" seedling.
