Default Tomato seeds not germinating

Hello Mike,

They should germinate easily in 7 to 10 days in a small pot on a warm
windowsill or conservatory, just slightly covered in compost and kept damp -
ideally with a plastic cover or bag over the top. Old seed can take longer
or not germinate at all.


You're right there. You may be lucky with old seed but it's often a
waste of time with tomatoes.. The date of packing as printed is not
there for fun.
