They usually germinate in a couple of days given the right amount of heat. Do you have an airing cupboard BM? I get mine to germinate in there and then move them into the spare bedroom or covered back yard. Hope you get going soon. I do and will go down that route thanks, I certainly don't remember having any problems last year and they were just in the conservatory. |

I potted on my toms on Sunday! I ended up sowing two lots of each variety as I thought the others weren't going to germinate (this is sounding familiar to me!), they have, I will have a count up of how many of each I now have. If I lose any (of course I am not going to!) I have back-up!

I ended up with 14 plants - and I have given about 10 away!
They are all outside and I have flowers on one of each of Nectar, Sungold and Black Russian. Nothing on the Principe Borghese yet. I'll take some photographs at the weekend.

I have 8 toms in the greenhouse using ring culture. Variety - Chadwick. The 4 getting the most sun have fruits on that are around 3/4" in diameter already. But I have learned that if the weather turns cold their progress can come to a grinding halt.

That's great BM. I've come home to find baby green toms on mine too, I've started feeding them their tomato food. |

Mine are doing great now, just need some sunshine to ripen them. I pinched out the growing tips last week but actually cut down the top trusses as well as there are loads to ripen on down and still quite a few flowers. Here is a pic I took this week. Gardeners Delight do have quite a few toms on each thruss.  |
