Just posting to see if anyone has any idea what these could be. I have grown my tomatoes in the pots you just plant when roots are coming through the sides and been planting them today. All over the sides are like little orange lentils never seen them before and just wondered what they could be and if they could cause problems.

Haha - I started my sunflower seeds in same kind of pots and mine got "orange lentils" on the outsides (nearer the bottom) too. I presumed it was some sort of fungus - cos the pots were damp and warm, but I planted them out anyway adn they seem to be doing OK.

Just been up to the allotment and noticed I've got "lentils" on the toilet rolls that my beans are growing in :hihi: It's a mystery!

lol home grown lentils

pretty sure it will be some kind of fungus

I have the orange lentils and now I have little mushrooms!!! pulled the blighters our and chucked em!

think it might be the woody compost I got from b&q, ill not be having it again!

I had asda compost was quite good as well, never mind plants are growing really well.
