I have had the same with mine. I sowed a few seed trays with various saved seeds and these started to go mouldy. I gave them one last chance and took one tray home and into the electric propagator - voila - seedlings appear.

I also grew lots of seedlings about a month ago after putting staright into the propagator. I didn't notice for a few days that these were growing and they went long and straggly. I then repotted burying most of the long thin stem in potting compost. This worked O.K. with the seedlings becoming normal again and growing proper leaves. This is something I have done loads of times with toms.

What did we do before the blue tray was invented?

GOOD NEWS!!!!.

After bringing my pots in that sat and done nothing for 8 weeks, and putting them in the airing cupboard for a few days...

I have tomato babies...

[davyw1]

I am pleased for you. Well done

Yay

Even though toms are cold sensitive the seeds are tough as old boots. We have them germinating outside in the UK around sewage works.

I let yellow currant toms seed into the beds, try stopping them! They are a good indicator that the soil has warmed up enough to put out tender plants!

Mine took about a week in a heated propogator in the conservatory. The Gypsy peppers I sowed on 7 March have not come yet though.

Brought mine in and now have gardener's delight, sub arctic plenty, marmande, alicante, tigerella and san marzano all sprouting for Britain!  Just needed warming up!
