The seedlings are doing great, very healthy looking and growing fast. I just wanted to take a quick picture to document the different types of leaf habits commonly found on tomato plants.
From left to right:
Regular leaf - these plants should be generally sturdy and upright. Most tomato plants are RL (shown Cherokee Green)
Potato leaf - these plants are robust and can be more resistant to diseases and environmental conditions. Some PL varieties can grow very large and there are PL versions of some popular RL varieties (shown Brandywine Cowlicks)
"Wispy" regular leaf - usually oxheart or paste varieties, the finely-serrated leaves have a tendency to droop. Sometimes mistaken as being unhealthy, these plants may produce very well even though they look weaker than other plants or are more susceptible to leave roll/curl (shown Prue).
