This year I seem to be having terrible trouble with tomato seeds! they just
will not seem to grow at all. Previous years have been fine, but this year
everything seems to have been a failure with my tomato seeds. I was
wondering if you have any suggestions?
I grow them in single pots, with John Innes potting compost, then place them
in a Gardman growhouse, but although all my other seeds have grown well, the
tomatoes are not showing at all.
I live in SE Kent.
Would be obliged for any advice or recommendations.

It's too late to sow more seed now. Get to a market stall, garden
centre and buy some plants. Maybe a neighbour has a few spares.
It's frustrating, and hard to say why. I sowed several different
tomato varieties from saved seed and all have come up. One pot of
Ferline, last yea's bought seed did not germinate at all. All sown in
same way, same compost, on same day.
