Anyone want any seeds??

I've finally dug out all of last year's seeds to see what is left over, and the answer is - rather a lot! Something like 800-850 tomato seeds. Annoyingly, no rosada. :-( Just the empty packet, saying they were 3.19 for 6 seeds!! (but we bought them for 50p at Wyevale in the sale!)

I've already got a tray of GD that are doing well, and a couple of Harbinger which I did to use up the packet but then found another packet today. And I finished off the packet of pineapple, which were lovely last year, but not many fruit - only 2 seeds left.

Plus Daniel has 3 lots of 'bush' tomatoes - 2 yellow ones (just showing first leaves), and 3 each of 2 types of red ones (just put in today)

What we have:

Tumbler - maskotka - 45
Bush - minibel - 35
Bush - garden pearl - 35
Bush - yellow somethingorother - ?
Cordon - czar/market king - 100
Cordon - roma - 100
Cordon - mr novak - 15
Cordon - super marmande - 30
Cordon - tigerella - 40
Cordon - rio grande - 100
Cordon - matina - 20
Cordon - veepro paste - 10
Cordon - shirley - 8
Cordon - jersey sunrise - 13
Cordon - yellow centiflor - 9
Cordon - reisetomate - 20
Cordon - yellow bell - 10
Cordon - GD - 30
Cordon - sweet million - 12
Cordon - harbinger - 20
Cordon - moneymaker - 100
Cordon - alicante - 80
Cordon - golden sunrise - 30

Trying to remember what was good and bad last year! Definitely doing:
* Rosada
* GD
* Rio Grande
* Roma

Definitely /not/ doing:
* tigerella
* golden sunrise
* reisetomate

Everything else is pretty much up for grabs. Nick doesn't want me doing more than 6-8 varieties, so I guess I pick 4 more from that. Oh, and I've already started the Harbinger! But I could do Harbinger + Shirley on the allotment, perhaps. Not that there is much more room there than in the greenhouse.
