Just as a matter of interest. Depending on circumstances and location, answers could range from Boxing Day to yesterday...

My seeds arrived this morning so I'm hoping to get them sown tomorrow... 1st time growing toms from seed for me  :blink:
Snappy 

No amount of time can erase the memory of a good cat, and no amount of masking tape can ever totally remove his fur from your couch.

About 10 minutes ago for 3 varieties destined for the greenhouse!  :)

The ones to be grown outdoors will be sown in a few weeks time.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Sowed 'em Saturday before last. They've been on top of the kitchen cupboards ever since and have just emerged through the top of the potting compost.

The weather has gone all mild up here in LA13 so I'll be finishing off digging over the plot this week and next. 
I'm off for a pint

I sowed my first about three weeks ago in seedbeds in my conservatory - Galina, which are special early Siberian cherry tomatoes.  I've sown another lot this past weekend along with some standard toms  :D

The seedlings from the first planting have come through and are happy on their warm window ledge.  I'm going to continue sowing over the next few weeks to hopefully avoid a glut.

Might do it in a week or so, there's no rush
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.
