Default Tomatoes

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.

Cheers ~Brian~



Last year all my tomato seeds germinated within a few days.
This year I have had to be patient and all have come through, but not days,
weeks.
Please be patient as I have, they are sturdier too! not long and thin and
weak.
Give them time and do not forget to water.
I was tempted to start over again, but they showed up in the end.

Put it down to Mother Nature and her trust Her if you can.
