    Thanks Pam for the comment. I have to say that this is a picture I found on the internet, which I liked.

    The seeds took 71 days to germinate, and a month later they are now nearly 2 mm high! - so flowering may be some way off yet. :D

    I have planted 7 different types of tomatoes this year ,i have this morning transplanted 2 "Roma" 1 "Gardeners Delight" 1"Moneymaker" and 2 "Millions" ? .
    All the others have not yet formed true leaves or only just germinated the "Beef" are exceptionally slow. I must say though they seem to have strong and healthy roots.
    I sowed 2 seeds to a cell as i only want 1/2 plants of each type ,and i did not sow them till after Mid-April as my greenhouse was not ready.

    My green house is in full sun from morning till night ,and I open the door wide and the vents as soon as I get up in a morning. Which is 8 ish.

    It is as I sit here, I can see the gauge, its 40 deg.

    I have thrown a white fleece over them to give a little shade ,and none of them seem to be suffering at all.
