[quote=jtcm05;52880]Out the bottom of what? The seed tray? Yes, I have had seedlings with roots before.... :mrgreen:[/quote]

I needed that John, yes I did as I sit here laughing.

Me too, me too, almost all of my seedlings had/have roots.:lol:

Tom, forgive us our tomato transgressions, but sheesh, what on earth are you talking about?:lol:

lol John & Carolyn ~

I have a "Stick" seedling that came up a couple days ago with the seed coat stuck on ...

Underneath that seed coat is not 1 stem ... but 2 stems ...
2 seedlings in one seed ...
Pictures worth 1000 words ... or at least better than what I'm trying to explain here ! lol ~

I'll snap photos ~

Great, b'c then we can clearly tell if they are identical or fraternal twins.

Oh forgive me.:lol:

lol ~ thats hilarious ~ oh wow -
People at work were just like "why is he laughing out loud ???" ~ lol ~

Maybe there were two seeds stuck together when you sowed them.

Nope, Tom is talking about two stems appearing after the seed coat went off.

I know exactly what he means and Tom, I've seen it before and sometimes a central nubbin appears but most of the time it doesn't and it's time for the funeral b'c with out a central leader stem there's no way the side foliage can do anything and it seldom does.

But you've got to prove that to yourself, so give it TLC and see what happens. You may get lucky.:)

Tom at first you post a thread about WINE and now you post a tread about double rooted/stemmed seeds.
Is there a connection here or what?:dizzy:
By the way Toms Big Yellow Lives.
Or should I say Toms Amarillo Grande Lives.
At least that is what I am going to name it.:)

Yes Carolyn - the foliage is "fused" where "cots" are
(very weird looking cot. leaves, even for "stick") and yes - they are conjoined twins at the top ...
Ahhh, nature never fails to amaze me ,,, will def. give it my best shot to see if I can nab a pic -
Its in the middle of my seed cells, so kindof hard to get the digi cam to focus in on just one ... maybe when I transplant >
IF there are "true leaves" and we get to the "next level" ~
((fingers crossed))

By the way ... I'm real serious about that "tomato package" out to you this summer ((convo @ GW)) ~

Worth -
Toms Amarillo Grande is how we could market it in TX ~
Let me know what you want to go with ~
Anything but "Yankee Yellow" is fine ~ lol ~ ;)

Glad to hear you found em ... Pretty sure you have one of the "first batches" (very early in seed sharing) to have ever gone out ...
Gosh, those were the days ~ I think you got them as Large Yellow right ?
Anywho ,,, hope you enjoy...

~ Tom:arrow:

Very curious to see pics on this. What did it look like? :P

Sirtanon,

You asked !

That's exactly what I was talking about Tom. Sometimes a small nubbin appears in the fork where the two stems diverge, but usually not.
