Had the same problem with cauli seedlings, had them in the poly tunnel in jeffy 7s, and it was far too hot for them.  Have to keep all seedlings at the house still, as I can't go daily to the tunnel.

Well, that'll learn you won't it? as they say round here.

You must be really upset.

I've just sorted though the seed packets we have, and can do you unopened packets of Gardener's Delight, also varieties called Idyll, and Garden Pearl for the small (all  MrF's).

For the beefsteak varieties can offer Mountain Pride, Ferline, Costoluto Fiorentino, and Legend.

If you grow any plum varieties, should have some Olivade shortly

If you would like any of the above, please PM me.

last year the cats went nuts and kept knocking them off the various windowsills, this yr ive dropped a small tray of cosmea seedlings, been there done that got the t shirt! damned annoying but i guess theres time to sow again if u get more seeds?
am curious about these black toms tho, are they really black?? might sound dim sorry! weve started of some seed mats of 3 diff varietys of toms we were kindly given, am hoping we have some success with them this yr and that the kids eat them! fingers crossed!! and do they taste the same as normal toms? sorry 2b so nosey!

Been there, done that and t-shirt has holes in it ;D  Last year I had some lovely toms that I potted up, I put them on the shelf and they went straight down the back.  Decapitated the lot.  The air in the greenhouse was very warm that day and had a blue haze!  You still have time to start some more off and some lovely varieties offered to you - be lucky.
