When I was sorting tomato seedlings, and pinching off the cotyledons, I saw a plant with 3 cotyledons and couldn't believe I didn't notice it before!!! This particular plant was one of the last coming up, so it just began its true leaves. The plants next to it are the same variety. There were so many tall tomato plants on this tray, that I moved them to another spot to give the smaller ones a fair chance, then uncovered this strange phenomenon (LOL) that I hope someone can explain...
Three cotyledons???
It must be the season... :)

Thanks! I was going to post in the tomato forum, but needed to finish some faxing first, and just came back online... I added my post to their thread. At least, according to Carolyn, they produce fruit and tend to grow faster. So maybe this little one will catch up with his older siblings LOL
