Looks nice :) and that's a lot of varieties... I have just about that much as well; yellow cherry, Roma, beefsteak, and black Krim. (Or maybe something else, I forgot allready :oops: )
Looking forward to updates!

Hi,how many days does it take for a tomato seed to germinate... I have just covered the tray with a transparent lid of an old container which is big than the tray... am I doing anything wrong...

It took my seeds about 1 week to germinate and that's without a lid.

Hmm...they didn't germinate...Did you water them daily and they recieved lots of sunlight? Did you start them indoors?
Make sure that when you try again that you water them every day and start them indoors on a sunny windowsill :) good luck!

In good conditions, with bottom heat, tomato seeds should germinate in 3-4 days. Check out the seed starting basics thread here: https://www.helpfulgardener.com/forum/vi ... 48&t=44183 for tips.
