I think you'll find its just too cold in the GH for seeds at the moment. We are still getting frost at night here in the NW.

Hi Alancas: I won't post the link yet again to the chart which gives very useful information about the germination rates and times for various veg seeds at different soil temperatures in case someone thinks I am either nuts or receive some sort of financial gain from it (I wish!) but if you look in "Growing FAQs and other information" > "Very useful internet links" you will almost certainly find the answer to your question.  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

It's only my personal opinion but I think the toms would be much better off indoors if you have the room?  May also be worth bringing some of the others in in batches just until they germinate and then bunging them back in the greenhouse.  I started off my kale/cabbage/chard in my heated propagator and then put them them in mine (took 2-3 days) as soon as they were peeking.  :)
