Purple stems on vegetable seedlings?
I started my vegetables from seed in peat pellets this year. Unfortunately, I left all my pellets outside one night and an unexpected storm blew them EVERYWHERE. Although I was able to salvage most of them, I now have seedlings that I can't identify. This is my first year really gardening, so I don't have enough experience to recognize my babies. I have a bunch of seedlings that have purple stems... I assumed they are eggplant. But from the information I've gained from the internet, eggplant stems should be green. :/ Can anyone help me out here? If you need pictures, I'd be more than happy to post some. Thanks!

I planted organic eggplant, organic bell peppers, organic cucumber, cauliflower, zucchini, broccoli, tomato, cow peas, green beans, and jalapeno peppers. I know it's not cauliflower, broccoli, tomato, or beans. So, that only leaves a few options. I really think it's eggplant.[img]https://i246.photobucket.com/albums/gg113/amuffledscreamx/plants/plant3.jpg[/img]

I transplanted one of them into a cup (all I had available at the time) with not-so-good soil. It's doing good though. The others were planted in a pot, closely together. Don't know how or why I did that. Maybe I mixed up the seeds. =/ My only excuse is I'm a beginner! lol

Hmmm. I did plant sunflowers a few weeks back, but I'm certain they all died. I went on vacation and my boyfriend neglected to tell me that he had taken them out of their humidity dome, so they dried out. It's a possibility that some survived and got mixed in with the new sprouts... I guess we'll wait and find out. But that definitely explains the ones in the pot.
P.S. Thank you.
