Pretty  sure these are tomatoes. I really don't  need any more but they might be nice 
So much for all the cosseting and tucking in a night that I do for the seeds I  bought!

Do you think these might be osteospermum? The leaves look similar to one I saved last year but I'm  not sure

    Looks a bit like calendula too?

    I have calendula seedlings. You may well be right, but the leaves are thicker. A bit like very thin succulent leaves

    Yes I know what you mean, that was my only reservation was that the leaves seemed thinner than calendula. I think its likely the osteospermum looks very similar.

    I've taken the tomatoes out and potted up two. I'll leave the mystery plants and see what transpires. I was actually trying to reduce the number of plants in pots and now I've got two more!

    Haha I'm the same, end up buying at least one new pot each week.

    It turned out to be a rather dull osteospermum.
