# Is it time to trash these basil and tomato seedlings? They sprouted…

Is it time to trash these basil and tomato seedlings? They sprouted well indoors but have been stagnant since then basically. The tomato has added the tiny leaves seen on the right of the taller stems since being outdoors. But not much more progress beyond that. It’s my first year beginning seeds indoors so not sure what to expect. They’ve been outside about a month now. Plus there’s super tiny black bugs in the soil I’m not sure are harmful or not.
