Tomatoes 14 Day Germination Rates

On the 5th May I sowed my Tomatoes for this year.  I recorded the germination rates per variety at 5 days

They were taken these out of the kitchen and placed in the unheated greenhouse to get some sun and continue germination and the 7 day germination rates can be found here

The results at 10 Days can be found here and the results below are for 14 Days. 

There have been two varieties that have achieved 100% Germination between 10 & 15 Days and only one Variety that has achieved zero Germination. 

Disappointing that the New Crimson Plum from Suttons has only achieved 50% Germination, and even worse that the White Cherry from D.T.Brown didn't germinate at all  

Sown 4 seeds of the following varieties

4 x Black Krim  100%
4 x Cherry Honeycomb 100% Less than 5 Days - Well done Mr Fothergill's !
4 x Crimson Cherry F1 100%
