Hi All
I was Not going to bother with Tomato's this year because I wanted to buy Tomato seedlings so because of the Virus I couldn't go to garden centre's to buy them etc But I have now thought about it and realised other people's comments here made sense about seeds are better than nothing. below is a post I posted in the 2020 Tomato thread.....

This is my 1st post since last year
and I must say I'm Very Very Very Pissed off with this Poxy Virus which is killing people and has brought the whole World to it's knees.
Yeah I know this is the Tomato thread so I'll make my point I bought a lovely Glasshouse last year used it for over-wintering my Fuchsia & Hydrangea cuttings it did the job perfectly, All cuttings have caught and have now been re-potted ready to go out onto my Patio so my Glasshouse would then be empty and ready for Tomato plants or so I thought.....I was hoping to purchase 6 Tomato plants and 2 of the Tomorite Growbags so glasshouse would be ready for summer all sorted
Hmm Well do you know what at this particular moment in time it's easier to buy a human kidney !
I have searched high and low on every plant nursery and garden website in the UK some garden websites are even making people queue for up to 30 mins before they can enter the website then to top it all off they're completely outa stock of Tomato plants or growbags!
No I can't be bothered with seeds I think it's a bit late now anyway but if I'd known yeah you bet I would have
So as you can imagine I'm Very Disappointed and Pissed right off I gotta wait now until next year.
Cheers

So Anyway I have now sown a tray of Alicante Tomato's (75)

Hopefully I will get some nice seedlings this is my 1st attempt at growing these fruits
