You never know what may turn up when growing tomatoes from seeds, as I found with the seedlings in the photos.
I got the offer of seeds for a big fruited variety (Unknown Name) and decided if I grew 4 seeds I would be sure to end up with one plant, as not much room for numbers this season. I sowed 4 seeds, got 4 seedlings, then noticed the elongated leaves when they started growing. No explanation for the difference in them. ![]() ![]() |

A Chromosome change in the genes perhaps. I'll give it pride of place in my garden Woz and grow instead of Duncan's.

Thank you for that. If it's what I think it is, then maybe I won't get big red fruit after all.

What I noticed is that long cotyledons usually gives tall plants, meaning long internode plants. I don't have a significant statistic, just an observation.

The east/west ones on them area about the same. And the N/S ones are sticking upwards on the one plant but not the other. Possibly a camera angle? Carolyn

Turned out to be a potato leaf on the top seedling, even though it started off quite narrow. Not sure what the fruit will do with the change, but the surprise will be nice.
