My first year trying to grow Tomatillos.

All 3 of the above were sown at the same time and sprouted 5, 6 and 7 days respectively (left-to-right), the eldest is now 15 days old and I potted it up to a 3.5" deep pot today. All plants were freshly watered prior to picture . so hold off on the 'moisture comments'.

I sowed 6 seeds, 5 spouted - 2 withered earlier this week (those sprouted on day 8 and 11).
I re-sowed 3 seeds today because I think I need 5 plants (2 for final garden, 1 spare and 2 for disaster contingency because we have frequent early summer hail storms). Left overs would be given away, but they would need to be paired for pollination.

Each plant is grown in the same environment and receive the same treatment ... why are they so different and finicky??? Anyone else find that their Tomatillos are not quite equal?
