Just put my first sowings in the heated propagator, 4 of each variety.
Aisla Craig - as I like them
Supersweet 100 - got the seeds free with a magazine
Moneymaker - again an old favourite
Gardeners Delight - not grown these before surprisingly
Crimson Crush - blight resistant, just in case and also never grown them before.

Ovi's Romanian Giant (new for this year)
Rovada (Had some leftover seeds but they germinated fine)
Black Sea Man (large beef tom - grows to be a large bush)
Green Zebra (Failed last year due to botrytis)
Bottondoro (excellent yellow cherry)
Sungold (popular for good reason)
Dasher (pretty solid Rovada like)
Black cherry (new for this year - excellent for cooking apparently)

My tomatoes are flying on the window sill. They're going to need potting on very soon but the only thing is, the next time I pot on it'll be into their final pots and that will mean them going out into the growhouse. Problem is its still only April. Hmm...
