kiwi doubts

What I thought was Kiwi, grown from a rotted fruit? Now I'm not so sure. I took the second tray and moved all the little seedlings into a pot, and then noticed that they all look exactly the same.
 Not only that, but I've spotted some of those red-stemmed plantlets growing in other places where I definitely did not put kiwi seed. So I'm pretty certain the first pot I have is nothing but a bunch of weeds. I shouldn't have been so smug about getting kiwi to sprout. This second pot I'm more hopeful on. As they all look like the same plant it's more likely they're from what I actually planted. But I'll have to wait for their first true leaves to find out.
