I've also had very bad germination. Only have three seeds left which I shall sow tomorrow. From seeds sown so far have just two meagre seedlings.

I haven't sown mine yet, but I find I have quite variable germination from saved seed. It may depend on how it's been stored.

Four seeds had germinated and I potted them on in 3" pots on Friday. Sowed more seeds last week.

I sowed mine on the 26th Jan. They had 50% germination. So far the survivors are 3" tall and doing well. There are 12 plants in all, 2 are fairly weedy looking, but give them chance eh?   

[Sinbad7]

Well done Star :)

Is there some way we can put photo's so we can see the others progress?

I have also a 50% germination reason i dont know.The ones who are left are 5cm high and i am repotting them today.

[Biscombe]

Sowing mine today, will keep you posted

[Suzanne]

I sowed mine on 2 March (fruit day). Sowed 6 modules - I thought with two seeds each but have counted the seeds left in my bag and I have 11 left - I know I started with 20?? Anyway I have 5 seedlings which have put on their second leaves now and will be repotted with the rest of the tom seedlings into 3" pots on the next fruit day. However I am not sure so counting this as around 50% germination

I am mentioning sowing/planting by the moon because if there are any other enthusiasts out there we can compare notes with non mooners.

That hasn't come out right but you know what I mean  ;)

Cheeky!!

Always been a fan of Frankie Howard.....................titter ye not!  ;D

[Jeannine]

Bump!!

Eristic, I have potted my plants into their final pots. I have only three I  am afraid, more did  germinate but sadly I lost them along with all my others when I got ill.

Anyway, I am rambling here.

The three I have are good strong plants, currently in the greenhouse.

Do you want us to put them outside  to test the blight thing.

Any particular  tips you want to pass on for their growth.

Keep in touch.

I have three plants from about 11 seeds. I've planted two outdoors at the lottie, they are covered a bit with fleece as they look distinctly chilly at the moment! I've kept one plant for the greenhouse as a reserve plant......

[star]

I have 2 planted outside, they are good and strong. And 2 in the greenhouse (ring culture) Lost 1 to slugs, another just pegged it. The 6 at the farm are doing well too.
I will take pics tomorrow if you like Eristic.

[saddad]

We have some but the oracle has just gone out...  :-[

[star]

Do you want 50p for the meter?..........ohhhhh the oracle.......... snigger

[Suzanne]

I had 5 plants from 12 seeds. I have planted one in my tomato house with the cherished, one outside the tom house with the well-loved and the other three have to rough it at lottie 2 with the liked.

[debster]

ok i sowed three but only 1 has survived, it is currently doing well in my plastic greenhouse, will be needing re potting in the next day or two  :)

[Sinbad7]

Mine are doing really well, one of the plants has flowers on it.  They are all looking healthy and much more advanced than my other toms, mind this could be to do with sowing them so early, I was that keen.

[Jeannine]

Sinbad one of my three has flowers on as well and all my varieties got planted on the same day so it would seem they are gonig to be earlies.
