Hi both

Figure E shows a single seedling. You will have to scroll down a little way.

Also the leaves are quite a bright green so they do stand out a bit

Unfortunately the primary leaves do look like some types of weed, ie two opposing propeller blade type leaves. the third leaf stage should be a give away as it is more frilly in shape, a bit like a cellery leave. if you wait a short while they should stand out more obviously from the weeds.

I have a picture in my blog. Think this should link to it:

Note: This is a big file (3MB) so beware if you are on dialup.

If not look for a post called seedlings in my blog. The parsnips are on the right, bright green leaves above the carrots which looks like grass.
