I was thinking of putting in some seeds right now that I have, 'Rouge de

You can start tomato seeds this month, but not in open ground; it's too cold
for them to grow properly. You'll have to plant them up in punnets and cosset
them for a couple of months.

Last time I tried early tomatoes (to avoid the post-Christmas fruit fly
problem), the later-planted seedlings overtook the earlier ones. This year
I'm going to plant some cherry tomatoes early as well as the bigger types.
