Rambling Red is showing life - which is reassuring as they're from 2014.
Some more toms in the post for you Scarlet.

My first Red Robin has popped.

My babies live.... I have little stems and heads peeking out of the soil at me I love this time of year x

Do mine still qualify as early if I get them sown this weekend?

Of course Danny, they'll be sown earlier than you normally sow, QED they're early (for you). Whether we are in the running for the earliest tomato race is probably doubtful, that usually goes to Veggie or Scarlet.  I normally sow my toms in mid February so mine are definitely early (for me).  If they grow.

Well they are early for me Jen.

I probably wouldn't be doing them yet but I want to see how the Growlight performs, although still debating where it will reside with Mrs B

Sown today, 3 seeds of each, hoping to get one plant of each to grow on. Sow by dates in (brackets)

Bajaja (2019)
Minibel (2020)
Rambling Red Stripe  (saved in 2014)
Red Robin (2014)
Sweet 'n Neat F1 (2014)
Three Cheeses High (from a swap in 2019)
Tiny Tim (from Scarlet, 2018)
Totem F1 (2013)
Vilma (2016)

I need to save seeds of some of these for next year, as they're almost finished. Not buying any more F1s.

Mixed success with germination so far.

Bajaja x 3
Minibel x1
Rambling Red x 3
Sweet n Neat 0
Three Cheeses x 3
Tiny Tim x 1
Totem 0
Vilma 0 (Sorry JJB)..

I have a vilma from your seeds so no need for apologies. If it survives I'll save seed. Also my red robin, terenzo and tumbling tom red have popped.

We've had a very tough start to the year so not started any sowing yet. I plan to sow a couple of Latah soon
