The saga of the poor germination continues, with the last couple of seedlings to emerge from the first heat mat being Monomakh's Hat and Arkashin.
The second heat mat started off fine with my White Cherry jumping out of the soil in numbers, but then the progression of single seedlings continued with :-
Greek Witness
Belgium Giant
UK2000
Donskoi
Poil Blanc
Black Krim
Purple Russian
Morado
Orlinyi Klyuv
Truffaut Precoce
Now I don't particularly mind getting one or two seedlings in a variety, but some have had stuck seed coats and I've lost the only seedling, where Arkashin for instance, I managed to get it off.
Most varieties from the first heat mat have had some seedlings potted up, the rest will become compost when I know they have survived the transplant.
Orlinyi Klyuv, known as Eagles Beak, is a red heart tomato and one I'm looking forward to growing, along with Donskoi a monster fruited plant if it grows true to form, so it and Belgium Giant should make a great pair.
