@CommonMugwort@social.coop @etp@indieweb.social as you can see from the closely spaced seedlings, quite a lot of thinning will happen. Prob when I transplant them. But a couple of kilos of toms has several retail-packets worth of seeds in it, so no need for preciousness about them. More important was making sure the tomatoes chosen for saved seed had not flowered while there were other varieties around doing so. Because it was such a grey day, even after the rain stopped, I kept them in all day, and really enjoyed revisiting them under their spot-lamps. I'll take more similar-as-I-can pics and maybe try a superimposition.

@CommonMugwort@social.coop @wavesculptor@climatejustice.social Nah. A seed will stick to the tip of a knife. Touch the seed to a piece of absorbent kitchen towel and it sticks much tighter to the paper, so you can just pull the knife away and do the next one. A similar trick works with a broken wooden toothpick or match dipped in water to transfer a seed to potting compost.
