Thanks for the tips, I'll just have to pop out and get some more seeds and give them another try   ;D ;D ;D

Or polythene... many of the "bush" ones can grow well under a poly canopy, helps keep the rian off the foilage and reduces blight... they need the long season more than the heat...  :)

i have sowed some tomatoes in cells in a seed tray then potted them into 3" pots but i have been watering them from above? is this not a good idea?
sorry if this is a silly question but i really am a complete novice!

It's fine at this stage Mike, it's only a problem when blight spores are in the air..
usually August/September..   :)
