No me, I'm even contemplating not sowing the windowsill Red Robin this year. TBH the tomatoes were fairly naff and tasteless. I intend to wait til February to sow some beefsteaks, maybe even March.

PS if you really need company, I might relent.

I'll join you in February,  Even with growlights the toms get leggy and need to go out far too early.  I'm not getting growlights out while the Christmas stuff is still around. Besides there's nowhere to put the lights, the desk is full of dried beans, seeds and Xmas goodies yet to be eaten. I need a bigger house! Have I the courage to tell that to P?  I don't think so, all he would say is chuck out your junk and you'd have plenty of room  Big Grin

Excuses, excuses!! You don't need grow lights until the seeds germinate which will take a few days. Your decorational clutter will be down on the 6th, you'll have eaten most of the goodies by then too - so no more excuses please. (PS I haven't started mine yet Wink)

No excuses here - I've sown some tomatoes. They're all old seeds so I have plenty of time to resow if they don't germinate! I've sown 8 seeds of each as extra insurance.
Red Robin 2015
Three Cheese High 2019
Minibel 2020
Rambling Red Stripe ?
Vilma 2016

Have you grown them from the saved seeds now? Wondering how true they grew?
