Hello My tomato seedlings (no true leaves yet) were moved into the greenhouse for some extra light, and now a lot of them are showing light brown crispy edges to the leaves. The stems are all healthy. Is this just "sunburn"? What can I / should I do?

If the leaves are just browned from the edges...it is not worry as such, as the new true leaves that emerge should not be effected.
If they would loose the first leaves...then that would be concern as the seedling would not be able to feed the new growth into action.

All you can do now...is to give them bit of shade and shelter with some fleece/netting and hope best that they will come through ok.

Like you suspect yourself..it propably is just bit of 'chock' from the new growing conditions/light.

I'm sure they will be fine.....

Bit of tempura batter... You can deep fry pretty much anything really.

Fried tomato runts are now so huge they are pulling their support fenceposts out of the ground They are battling for domination with the watermelon and cucamelon vines. What have I created?!!

See if you can spot the "horizontal" top wire, or the hole where the fencepost has leaned... Not pictured - all the tendrils seeking out new victims, including empty plant pots, staging, other plants......

What sort of tomato are they? My one plant looks very tame compared to that!

I didn't buy the seeds so honestly not sure. Some kind of bog standard one from the garden centre I presume.
