Thanks, Nan. I have one of two up on each cell now. that's all the Big Brandy F1 I need. They were slower than the surrounding seeds for some unknown reason. It may have something to do with heat sensitivity.

I panicked when nothing germinated from some older seed and re-started the entire packet of some first round choices OP using Carolyn's N soak method. Did great, and they are kept warm, possibly to a fault. My heat mat was at 85 with towels over the plastic cover and I get to 80 on top of the DVD player with a few stadium blankets on top of the set up.

Its really hot in the window with the sun shining on the newly germinated seedlings and they are looking unusually tall and thin as a result. Due to my former work schedule, I am used to starting tomatoes about a month earlier when the sun isn't as strong. I started potting up today., a week earlier than usual at this stage.
