Default Germination of Tomatoes

Anyone else experiencing problem or delays?

I sowed three different varieties in greenhouse a week ago today : container on
heated sand bed: thermostatic heater in greenhouse : and none have come
through. Previous years the first ones usually come through in three or four
days.

Pure coincidence I am sure : but a couple of colleagues have also experienced
slow germination this year of tomatoes.


I sowed a dozen or two 3-year old Golden Sunrise seeds in an 8cm pot and
put it in a heated propagator. Germination was pretty good in less than
a week, and the seedlings are now a week on and look fine.
